Introduction to Cell Types
Rechargeable Lithium
Lithium Ion, Lithium Nanophosphate, Lithium Polymer
Amazing battery life for cutting edge electronic devices, making the most of the space available in your design. Market leading energy and power densities make rechargeable lithium batteries indispensible for industrial and consumer electronics. Add-in intelligent battery management and highly engineered safety devices and realize the value of smart batteries in your product.
Nickel Rechargeable
Nickel Metal-Hydride, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Zinc
Robust and capable, NiMH and NiCd batteries are a mainstay of industrial and consumer products. Because these systems are rechargeable, the overall costs and environmental impact of battery usage are reduced compared to non-rechargeable chemistries. And with the latest improvements to low self-discharge technology, NiMH is capable of performing on demand, straight from the box.
Lead Acid
Sealed Lead Acid, Valve-Regulated Lead Acid, Gel Batteries, Spiral-Wound Lead Acid
A staple technology for many years, lead acid is a leading product for backup systems, starters and other high current applications, where weight is not a critical factor in the design, but robustness and reliability are. For next generation systems, Lithium Nanophosphate offers huge improvements in performance, life and weight.
Non-Rechargeable Lithium
Lithium Thionyl Chloride, Lithium Iron Disulphide, Lithium Manganese Dioxide
When battery replacement is impossible, you need to maximise battery life without compromising on mechanical design. Non-rechargeable lithium battery systems offer extreme capacity and longevity, adding value by increasing usable product life and decreasing service and replacement costs.
Alkaline
Alkaline Manganese Dioxide
Tried and tested, high quality alkaline systems offer great value and versatility. Safe and suitable for use in most environments, alkaline batteries are quick to develop and deploy with reduced engineering time and cost compared to lithium systems. But value does not mean low tech. Alkaline is appropriate for large and complex assemblies, and can serve in extreme environments.
