Ultralife is set to enrich the U1 lead acid battery market with the launch of its new 584Wh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) smart battery. The URB12450-U1-SMB battery, which features accurate fuel gauging and integrated safety circuitry, is designed to replace and improve on traditional sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries in applications such as medical carts, robotics & uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems.
The medical market is a challenging environment, and understandably so, with people's lives on the line it is essential that medical practitioners can rely on their equipment to perform under pressure.
The Inspired Energy battery, NJ1020HP, was designed many years ago when Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) were the norm and Lithium ion technology was just getting off the ground. Yet the NJ1020HP, used in Phillips M3 and M4 (M3046A) patient monitors, continues to provide outstanding performance for devices and remains extremely popular worldwide.
“A new industrial revolution”. If I told you that’s how French President François Hollande recently described a form of technology, what would you think he was talking about — Robots, planes or perhaps driverless cars? In fact, Monsieur Hollande was referring to a new lithium battery plant. Batteries are big news in France and they’re constantly evolving. In this piece, professional battery manufacturer Accutronics looks at the key features of the French battery industry.
When you think of Germany, what do you think of? Most people will usually say football, beer, and BMWs. What most people won't say is medical technology (medtech). Despite that, Germany’s medtech sector is by far the largest in Europe and the third largest in the world. It’s home to some of the largest Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and presents a wide range of opportunities for technology experts. Here, Michele Windsor, global marketing manager of professional battery manufacturer Accutronics looks at the key features of the German battery industry.
The Ultralife 2590 product family consists of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, chargers & charging systems, and a series of cables & connectors enabling out-of-the-box "Plug and Play" rechargeable power.
Start of an Era
The Ultralife Lithium 9Volt battery was launched in 1991 as the world’s longest lasting lithium 9V battery. The battery was based on lithium manganese dioxide chemistry which leads to high energy density and voltage that remains very stable throughout the discharge. Since the initial launch, there have been over 100 million units sold worldwide. The battery immediately gained acceptance into critical markets such as smoke detectors, security sensors, and medical telemetry.
The Next Generation
Twenty years later, Ultralife launched a new version of the product, with enhanced features and improvements over the original version.
Accutronics are proud to announce the addition of ULTRALIFE lead acid replacement Lithium Iron Phosphate (LIFePO4) batteries to our arsenal of high energy battery solutions. This extensive range is specifically targeted at replacing lead acid batteries in a range of mission critical applications. ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 products provide superior performance compared to lead acid batteries making them the perfect solution when high energy, safety, reliability and extended lifetime are required.
