     WELD SEAM ON A PREMIUM REBUILD: Original Logic ProPac Digital or Non-Digital after our Professional Welding Seam securing the case and allowing it to be rebuilt over and over.  Amateur's and fly by night companies use "Bonding" which is glue and tape that will break and also ruins the case.

FINAL TEST USED ON OUR PREMIUM REBUILDS: Our professional procedure and price also requires that All Logic ProPac Digital, Non-Digital, and Hytron 100, Hytron 120, and Hytron 140 recells are tested on Anton Bauer 2702's w/DDM before adding enclosure.  We stand alone in professional quality rebuilding.  As shown below, PAG ACS analyzers supply excellent charge and maintenance to Your units and do not require communication with the internal temperature sensors of AB batteries.  Click to enlarge.     First picture is one of our Anton Bauer 2702 with DDM testing stations, testing, autocal, and charging different rebuilt Anton Bauer ProPac Logic, Digital ProPac Logic, Hytron 100 Series battery packs to verify proper operation of the completed battery, on the chargers they were designed for, before we place the enclosure back together for our professional welding technique.   This picture is a PAG Pulsar with same type batteries doing a full diagnostic, discharge, charge, balance, and a recovery program, then to a stand by status.

Unlike smart chargers, Cadex and PAG analyzers do NOT require any digital circuitry to analyze and properly charger your batteries.

If your Anton Bauer Interactive chargers no longer recognize particular Anton Bauer Logic or Hytron series batteries the battery inserts may still be good and there is a cost saving resolution.  Call for details.

Four our safety and yours, expedient turn around, and quality work, sales staff are NOT allowed to interrupt technicians in assembly.
