We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rechargeable Batteries",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release IR gas detector monitors electrical assets from
Flir Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ThermaCAM GasFind IR LW is optimised for leak detection of sulphur hexafluoride, a gas used as an insulator in electrical equipment".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Hydrogen detector spots leaks from
Adixen Sensistor: "Adixen Sensistor's Extrima leak detector is intended for leak detection with diluted hydrogen as tracer gas in explosive environments, where the safety requirements are extremely high".
In August 2007, we covered the news from ETL Group
concerning its 765-16B barometric pressure measuring unit
- take a look at Portable barometer handles tough environments
which says: "The765-16B can be controlled via the bi-directional RS-232 or USB interface".
Take a look also at the news release from Baumer Group, Tool aids transmitter configuration,
as well as Temperature indicators suit popular thermocouples from Cropico,
and Company takes GBP 6.5 million export order from DavyMarkham.
