Ultralife Corporation has strengthened its Thin Cell range of primary (non-rechargeable) lithium manganese dioxide (Li-MnO2) pouch-cell batteries. The higher energy density and slim form factor of Ultralife’s Thin Cell technology makes it ideal for use in the next generation of internet-connected and wearable devices in sectors including medical, banking, highways, logistics, warehousing and security.
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.
The worldwide battery market is currently undergoing something of a renaissance thanks to the growing demand for long-life, high power batteries across consumer electronics, industrial, military and the hybrid electric vehicles sectors. Here, Neil Oliver, technical marketing manager at battery specialist Accutronics, asks the question, who owns and controls the worldwide battery market and where is it heading?

When requiring a compact primary (non-rechargeable) battery for a military device it’s worth considering the ULTRALIFE UBI-5390XC which uses ULTRALIFE's Lithium Manganese Dioxide / Carbon Monoflouride hybrid cell technology bringing unparalleled performance.
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.
