Current US laws impose ‘no limit on how many hours US workers can work’ and those who undertake more than 40 hours a week qualify for overtime pay at 1.5 times their normal wage; so it is unsurprising to find that an estimated 80 percent of Americans continue to work after their mandated working day has ended. However, not having a work-life balance can have a long-term effect on staff productivity.
Rechargeable battery chemistries have advanced significantly in recent years. Lithium-ion has emerged as the go-to battery chemistry for a wide range of devices, from home applications such as smartphones and cordless power tools, to industrial Medtech and military equipment.
If you’ve been searching for a battery which has been certified to IEC 62133:2012 and UL/CSA 62133 standards then Inspired Energy’s new QE range of Lithium-ion smart batteries could be the perfect solution.

Funding for the Department of Health has slowed by around 3% compared to historical trends. As a result, hospitals are likely to assess cost savings in their purchasing decisions, which will have a knock-on effect on the prices that medical device manufacturers (OEMs) are able to charge. Therefore, OEMs may consider reducing spending on parts such as the battery. Accutronics’ range of Entellion pre-engineered batteries are an excellent low-cost option, as they have no tooling or qualification costs and are certified to comply with medical legislation. The range includes VR series, CMX series and credit card batteries.

Are you seeking a medical battery solution to be incorporated in a ventilator, anaesthesia workstation, dialysis machine or other medtech equipment? Take a look at our six factors to help you make the right choice:
There are unexpected parallels between diamonds and batteries. Diamond is formed under extremely high pressure and is the world's most valuable gemstone. Likewise, battery technology is developing under increased pressure from end users and manufacturers, while remaining one of the most valuable components in electronic devices. Here, professional battery manufacturer Accutronics explores how this pressure is shaping the future of battery design.
If you have been putting up with substandard batteries that do not give you the specifications you need, what better time to upgrade than the present? Ultralife manufacture both rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries that utilize modern chemistries and designs to offer significant advantages over other portable power solutions in the marketplace.
Developments such as portable devices have restructured how many healthcare professionals operate and, crucially, driven a necessity for device manufacturers to deeply consider the lifespan and effectiveness of their products.
