~ New lightweight chargers can help ensure air transportation compliance ~

To provide reliable, effective power for military and defense customers, Ultralife Corporation has expanded its tactical power portfolio by introducing new lightweight chargers designed to help defense organisations comply with international air-transportation rules for lithium-ion batteries.  The new range includes single-, dual-, six- and eight-bay systems for Lightweight Wearable or UBI-2590 battery formats, supporting two commonly deployed power sources in soldier-worn and field-portable electronics.

Leading battery manufacturer Ultralife Corporation will be exhibiting at Oceanology International London from March 10-12 at the ExCel centre.  On Stand L610, Ultralife will offer live demonstrations of its subsea battery packs.  Meanwhile, its experienced technical team will also be available to discuss power solutions for oil and gas applications such as Logging While Drilling (LWD) and Measurement While Drilling (MWD), as well as pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs).

Medical cart battery manufacturer Ultralife Corporation will be exhibiting at HiMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition from March 10-12, 2026, at the Venetian Convention & Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.  On Booth 3061 (VE2), Ultralife will be joined by Karta Healthcare, a leading manufacturer of space-saving medical carts, as the two companies celebrate four years of partnership.  At the show, Ultralife will showcase its hot-swap batteries for medical carts that can be replaced in three seconds using one hand.

A recent article in Environmental Protection magazine reports that ‘Internal water leaks are the number one cause of property damage in commercial buildings, surpassing fire, theft, and weather-related events combined’ and that ‘Water-damage deductibles of $100,000 to $200,000 are now common’.  It is therefore essential to have reliably powered smart meters and water leak detectors that continuously look for signs of a leak.

With the festive season approaching, homes around the world are preparing for a flurry of online orders, with one unlikely device playing an important role: the doorbell.  With millions of parcels expected on doorsteps from dawn till dusk, Ultralife Corporation, a leading battery manufacturer, says this Christmas could be the biggest test yet for the humble doorbell and the power source that keeps the chimes ringing.

The introduction of mandatory CE marking for batteries in August 2024 marked a major shift for manufacturing industries.  This was the first serious attempt to bring all types of batteries, including portable, industrial, electric vehicle (EV) and light means of transport (LMT) under a single framework.  Over a year on, UK battery manufacturer Accutronics Ltd (an Ultralife company) reflects on what’s changed and how the industry has responded.

At Ultralife, innovation doesn’t stop at solving today’s problems — we focus strategic thinking on anticipating tomorrow’s needs.  Our X5 Power System has proven itself as a reliable, hot-swappable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for medical carts.  But its core strengths — modular design, high energy density, and seamless battery swapping — make it an ideal candidate for broader applications beyond healthcare.

November 2025 marks one year since Ultralife Corporation completed its acquisition of Electrochem Solutions.  Throughout that time, the acquisition has strengthened Ultralife's battery production capabilities, particularly in the oil and gas sector, where we now have three brands – Excell Battery, Southwest Electronic Energy and Electrochem Solutions – expanding our reach as a market leader.

13th October 2025 marks 250 years since the founding of the U.S. Navy.  Over that time, there has been a vast amount of technological change, such as the transition from hand-cranked submarines to complex underwater vehicles, from bulky computer servers to easily-transportable and wearable ones, and from flag signals to advanced radio communications.  In the USA, Ultralife is proud to manufacture portable power solutions and communications systems that serve the modern U.S. Navy's need for underwater vehicles, edge computing and advanced radio communication.

International government and defense organisations have ever-changing portable power and charging requirements.  New regulations by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) could cause charging issues for militaries once batteries reach their destination.  Additionally, advances in military equipment bring the need for new battery solutions.  Therefore, military battery manufacturer Ultralife Corporation has developed a new range of products that can help.
