Finding repair and recelling services for Anton Bauer batteries in the UK and Europe

20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • Anton Bauer Europe operates a service center in Kerkrade, Netherlands that handles battery repairs and recelling
  • A faulty video tap drawing excessive power through a battery can damage the battery internally without triggering the battery fuse
  • Recelling costs approximately the same as replacing the battery entirely in some cases
  • PAG manufactures batteries compatible with multiple mounting systems including Anton Bauer sockets and offers adapter plates to convert between different battery mount types
  • Independent battery service providers in the UK offer recelling services for various Anton Bauer models at different capacity and price points

Depends on

  • The thread does not specify what internal damage occurred in the ProPac battery or why the fuse did not protect it
  • Pricing information from one service provider is from 2006 and may not reflect current costs
  • The adapter plate solution for using PAG batteries requires changing the physical mounting system
