‘Lithium Batteries’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Lifebatt battery modules include management system from Lifebatt, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lifebatt Lithium Iron Phosphate battery modules are equipped with advanced management systems to monitor and balance each cell. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Saft shows battery technologies for telecom market from Saft Industrial Batteries: "Saft is demonstrating advanced battery technologies for the telecommunications market at Vietnam Comm 09.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Lifebatt - take a look at Lifebatt offers high-power expertise which says: "Lifebatt provides large-format rechargeable power solutions for a range of applications.".

Take a look also at the news release from Exide Technologies, JTT uses Exide gel batteries and SP chargers, as well as Absopulse battery charger delivers up to 1500W from Absopulse Electronics, and CTS conference gives electrical equipment update from Cobham Technical Services.
