Davo McConville Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi all! Sorry for hijacking the forum but we have an emergency - we have a shoot tomorrow (Tuesday) - Friday and our Arri 235 batteries are dead. Does anyone have onboard batteries or a 30v block we could rent please? In LA!! Many thanks Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny N Suleimanagich Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Keslow camera should have the on-board Anton Bauer mount. Otherwise you can use an Anton Bauer 12/28 belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Anderson Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If anyone knows of a place that has specifically re-celled the factory Arri 235 on-board batteries successfully, I would love to know. I've heard a few varying stories that range from, "no problem", to "the battery packs are kind of glued in there a bit and you have to scrap off all this excess glue and that makes them a bit more difficult". Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo McConville Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks Kenny! I tried but in the end we rebuilt them ourselves. Todd – it takes a minute but it's not hard. 22 Standard AA NimH cells - 1.2A, Mah 1700-2100 – flat top / solder tabs Reuse the thermistors etc from inside the battery (not hard to disassemble) and rebuild based on what you see in there. You'll probably need to score the tops of the batteries to make sure the solder sticks (the Arri cells are electro soldered). Every single battery needs a tab top and bottom. They've then glued the block together, but regular glue gun glue won't be heat resistant enough to replace it with. We recelled 4 batteries in about 5 hours.
