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.
Happy 32nd Birthday Ultralife

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.
Custom battery and charger manufacturing

Count every drop, spot water leaks early
[fa icon="calendar'] 01-Aug-2024 15:23:01 / by Rob Brown posted in Products & Services
Did you know that a dripping faucet or pipe, a seemingly minor inconvenience, can waste thousands of litres of water a year and account for up to 75 per cent of a household's water consumption? Small electronic devices like smart meters and leak detectors allow homeowners to get warning signs or alerts, resulting in faster response times and, ultimately, improving wider water conservation efforts.
Are power supplies and battery chargers different?

"Batteries & Subsea Water DO NOT MIX - right?"
[fa icon="calendar'] 12-Jun-2024 08:17:16 / by Rob Brown posted in Subsea Battery Insight
Many subsea engineers accustomed to mechanical hydraulics and/or tethered umbilicals have a concern that "You Cannot Reliably Use Batteries Under Water", so convincing them otherwise is a daily task for battery manufacturer Southwest Electronic Energy (SWE). The company manufacture five standard SeaSafe® battery packs that can be used at an ocean depth of over 6,000m.
