Hospital medical carts require uninterrupted and portable power for critical patient care and yet traditional battery systems create operational vulnerabilities during replacement cycles. When the Australia-based company, Debetrek, transitioned from reselling medical carts to manufacturing their own Karta Health brand, they faced this exact challenge.
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says wearables can help Americans learn the impact of diet on their health, including "what food is doing to their glucose levels". When most people think of wearables, they think of smartwatches. However, smartwatches cannot directly measure glucose levels, so what devices can be used and how can the manufacturers integrate the optimum battery to keep these devices practical to use whilst reliably transmitting the data?
Staffordshire is situated towards the centre of the United Kingdom, providing easy access to the rest of the country and Europe, making it the ideal place for manufacturing. In the village of Chesterton lies Loomer Road Industrial Estate where batteries have been produced at the same site for 50 years.
Ultralife's engineering team recently conducted tests to show the high power you can get from our 13Ah Primary D Size Single-Cell Battery (the U10026), which has a typical max. discharge of up to 20A continuous. Even after 10-20 years on the shelf, this battery offers high performance in many Government and Defense applications, as well as Drones, Ignitors, and High Lumen LED/HID Illuminators.
Reliable IT hardware is crucial in modern military and national security / intelligence operations. From a military perspective, IT hardware may be used in harsh battlefield environments or onboard Naval vessels. From a national security and intelligence perspective, agents may transport classified data on commercial aircraft. These types of environments are subject to shock, vibration, and water ingress. In these scenarios, ensuring the integrity of critical IT infrastructure is vital, and rugged cases can help protect servers, switches, and other devices. Case design is key and can influence field performance.
Ultralife Corporation has come a long way since it was formed out of Kodak's Ultra Technologies Battery Division and went public 32 years ago. Since then, we have sold over 100 million non-rechargeable 9V batteries worldwide, introduced the popular XX90 rechargeable lithium-ion battery range (used by international armed forces), expanded our Communications Systems portfolio with the acquisition of AMTI and McDowell Research, and acquired businesses in the UK, Canada, China, India, and across the USA. These acquisitions allow us to better serve a wide range of markets from Government and Defense, to Medical and Healthcare, Industrial, Safety and Security, Robotics and Internet-of-Things, Oil and Gas, and Subsea.
Ultralife Corporation is adding to its portfolio of sealed lead acid (SLA) replacement packs with its first 24V battery, allowing the company to expand further into robotics, energy storage and other traditional lead acid markets. Known as the URB24200, this lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack can power lightweight motorized and data back-up applications. Such applications can be found in industrial, medical, and defense settings. The new battery joins a range of ten LiFePO4 batteries that all offer uniform voltage during discharge and are significantly lighter than sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries of the same capacity, providing a sought-after balance of size, weight, and power.
Every custom battery or charger order begins with an enquiry and ends with volume production. However, there are many tasks that happen in-between to ensure that the final product meets the specific quality, performance, and safety requirements of each customer.
Electronic devices and the battery packs that power them pose a risk of combustion in coal mines, petrochemical plants and other hazardous environments that are exposed to flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, or fibers.
Ultralife’s facilities in the USA, UK, Canada, and China manufacture battery packs and chargers for the medical and healthcare sector (USA and China also manufacture cells).
