If you decide to purchase your Beaulieu battery re-cell from someone else, ask these questions first!

Q: How will the individual cells be connected together inside the battery case? Will they be soldered or spot welded together? Ask to see pictures of their re-cell process!

At FIlmMaker8 we weld the individual battery cells together using nickel straps just like the Beaulieu factory did when the battery packs were manufactured. A quick Web search shows that most sites offering Beualieu battery re-celling don’t disclose details about their battery re-cell process. We suspect that many service technicians are simply soldering the individual battery cells together. The problem with soldering is that high heat can irreparably damage the NiMH cells. Spot welding the cells together is a low heat process that provides an extremely reliable and permanent battery junction. A welded battery junction also provides a low resistance connection between cells for a more reliable and efficient delivery of power to your camera! The NiMH cells FilmMaker8 uses in the re-cell process are not your ordinary consumer electronics batteries. They’re 460mAh high capacity NiMH cells capable of high discharge rates (2.25A) which means more shooting time with your Beaulieu camera!

Q: WIll the all of the internal plastic parts be replaced as part of the battery re-cell process?

Lets face it, the plastic parts (insulators) inside your old Beaulieu battery pack have been exposed to battery acid for years and are more than likely going to need to be replaced. Most times, these internal plastic parts disintegrate when removed from the battery case. At FIlmMaker8 we replace ALL of the internal plastic parts during the disassembly and inspection steps of the re-cell process. We’ve perfected the process of making the replacement internal plastic parts and they’re an important part of the re-celling process. The internal plastic parts are necessary to make sure the individual cells are properly insulated from each other and the battery case.

At FilmMaker8 we specialize in re-celling your old OEM Beaulieu Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) battery packs with new high capacity Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. Our re-celling process uses state of the art welding equipment to give new life to your old tired or inoperable battery packs. We use new 460mAh NiMH cells capable of shooting between 18-20 Super 8 film cartridges (@ 24fps) between charges. Using our state of the art parallel gap welding system, we’re able to re-cell all OEM Beaulieu battery types (2008 (A&B), 4008ZM I/II, 3008, 4008ZM4, 5008 S, etc.).

"Excellent job on the re-cell of my 6 batteries! You guys did a terrific job refurbishing them, they weigh even less than new and you even replaced missing/damaged leatherette's!"
