To reflect the change, the product has a new name - the [URB12450-U1-SMB](https://www.ultralifecorporation.com/ECommerce/product/urb12450-u1-smb/lfp-smart-u1?ce=Valued%20E-mail&cfn=Valued%20Contact&cln=Valued%20Contact&cc=Valued%20Company) - but is still commonly referred to as the smart U1. Originally launched back in 2017, the smart U1 is specifically designed as an embeddable [battery for medical carts](https://www.ultralifecorporation.com/ECommerce/category/applications/medical/powered-medical-carts-beds?ce=Valued%20E-mail&cfn=Valued%20Contact&cln=Valued%20Contact&cc=Valued%20Company) and comes pre-qualified for use with [Tripp Lite and Ametek Powervar inverters](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/ultralife-u1-battery-tripp-lite-ametek-powervar-inverters?ce=Valued%20E-mail&cfn=Valued%20Contact&cln=Valued%20Contact&cc=Valued%20Company).  The upgrade comes at a time when Ultralife is expanding its portable power offering for medical carts; with the launch of the [URS-X5 power system](https://www.ultralifecorporation.com/ECommerce/product/urs-x5/medical-cart-power-system?ce=Valued%20E-mail&cfn=Valued%20Contact&cln=Valued%20Contact&cc=Valued%20Company) and [URB-X5 hot-swappable battery](https://www.ultralifecorporation.com/ECommerce/product/urb-x5/lithium-iron-phosphate-smart-battery?ce=Valued%20E-mail&cfn=Valued%20Contact&cln=Valued%20Contact&cc=Valued%20Company). The URS-X5 power system offers cart users a hybrid configuration, where the URB12450-U1-SMB embeddable battery can be used alongside the URB-X5 removeable batteries, when longer runtimes are required.  The U1 acts as an energy reservoir, sitting in the base of the cart, providing energy when the URB-X5 is exhausted. And that energy is now greater than ever, thanks to the upgrade that will help the battery to better serve the medical carts of tomorrow. ### Specifications table: | [![The newest LiFePO4 2021 1](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20newest%20LiFePO4%202021%201.jpg?width=178&name=The%20newest%20LiFePO4%202021%201.jpg)](https://www.ultralifecorporation.com/ECommerce/product/urb12450-u1-smb/lfp-smart-u1?ce=Valued%20E-mail&cfn=Valued%20Contact&cln=Valued%20Contact&cc=Valued%20Company)   | **    Model Number:**  URB12450-U1-SMB (Smart U1) **    Typical Voltage:**  12.8V **    Typical Capacity:**  45.6Ah **    Typical Energy:**  584Wh **    Nominal Dimensions (L x W x H):**  209 x 136 x 182mm **    Typical Weight:**  5.44Kg (11.99lb) | | --- | --- | [![Contact Ultralife (Global HQ, USA)](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/588756/fe51aed7-d3a9-4154-a844-6aa623b3bcac.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/588756/fe51aed7-d3a9-4154-a844-6aa623b3bcac)      [![Contact Accutronics (UK & Europe)](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/588756/2d5f8fcd-6640-4940-a4d4-f610ff3c8021.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/588756/2d5f8fcd-6640-4940-a4d4-f610ff3c8021)      [![Contact SWE (Texas, USA)](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/588756/7f6c8e14-5819-4170-8390-deeb894f2263.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/588756/7f6c8e14-5819-4170-8390-deeb894f2263) Topics: [Products & Services](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/products-services) ### Subscribe to Email Updates - Recent - Popular - Categories ### Lists by Topic - [Products & Services (62)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/products-services) - [Medical industry insight (17)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/medical-industry-insight) - [Robotics (16)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/robotics) - [Manufacturing industry insight (14)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/manufacturing-industry-insight) - [Insider (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/insider) - [Military industry insight (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/military-industry-insight) - [Safety and security industry insight (9)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/safety-and-security-industry-insight) - [Cyber security (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/cyber-security) - [Exhibitions (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/exhibitions) - [Project Management (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/project-management) - [Test & Instrumentation Industry Insight (2)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/test-instrumentation-industry-insight) - [Subsea Battery Insight (1)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/subsea-battery-insight) see all ### Posts by Topic - [Products & Services (62)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/products-services) - [Medical industry insight (17)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/medical-industry-insight) - [Robotics (16)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/robotics) - [Manufacturing industry insight (14)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/manufacturing-industry-insight) - [Insider (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/insider) - [Military industry insight (12)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/military-industry-insight) - [Safety and security industry insight (9)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/safety-and-security-industry-insight) - [Cyber security (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/cyber-security) - [Exhibitions (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/exhibitions) - [Project Management (4)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/project-management) - [Test & Instrumentation Industry Insight (2)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/test-instrumentation-industry-insight) - [Subsea Battery Insight (1)](https://blog.ultralifecorporation.com/blog/topic/subsea-battery-insight) see all ### Recent Posts #### About Us Ultralife Corporation is a leading provider of advanced, highest quality products and services ranging from cells, batteries, charger and power solutions to communications and electronics systems to customers across the globe in the government & defense, medical, safety & security, energy, and industrial sectors.
