New Products * Batteries Renata Develops 3 Volt Rechargeable Lithium Coin Cell Battery for Handheld Medical Devices and Wearable Electronic Devices Renata Batteries has developed its first rechargeable coin cell battery, expanding its portfolio of primary coin cell batteries to include its more recent innovations in rechargeable lithium battery chemistries. Featuring long cell life and a low selfdischarge rate (<1 percent per year at 23°C), Renata's 3 V LMR 2016 rechargeable lithium manganese dioxide batteries are packaged in compact (20 mm diameter by 1.6 mm), lightweight (~1.2g), non-magnetic coin cells well suited for use in portable medical devices and wearable electronics. The rechargeable LMR 2016 batteries deliver 3 V nominal voltage and a 500-cycle lifetime, and are UL certified to Lithium Batteries - Component standards (BBCV2.MH14002). Rated for 30 mAh capacity and operating temperatures spanning -20°C to 60°C, the batteries can be shipped in bulk or card unit blister packaging, and can also feature custom tabbed solutions upon request. Freshly delivered batteries have a 90 percent (27 mAh) state of charge. CID2-Listed UPS and Battery Packs Phoenix Contact's Quint UPS IQ family now includes both uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and back-up batteries individually listed for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. By combining these components with Phoenix Contact's CID2-listed power supplies, a designer can create an entire system that meets CID2 needs. The CID2 UPS-IQ is available in 120, 240, 480 and 960 watt versions. In this modular CID2 back-up solution, any of the UPS devices can be connected to any of the CID2 battery packs without violating compliance to the CID2 approval. To increase the battery back-up time, up to five CID2 battery packs of the same type can be connected to the UPS while maintaining a CID2 listing. Each individual battery pack is listed for CID2 and UL508. Capacity options include a 1.3 Ah, 3.4 Ah, 7.2 Ah, 12 Ah, 38 Ah valve-regulated lead-acid versions. A 120 Wh lithium-ion option is also available. SimpliPhi Power Batteries Outperform by 62 Percent in Marine Corps Energy Storage Tests Rigorously tested by extreme discharge and charge parameters utilized by the Marine Corps, SimpliPhi Power's OES 1.3 kWh and OES 2.6 kWh High-Output batteries outperformed the baseline control HighEnergy Lithium Battery (HELB) at Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina. The Marine Corps conducted a range of tests including a high-power discharge "stress test" that the HELB battery could not perform, but that both SimpliPhi OES high-output batteries withstood to completion, with power to spare for baseline loads. Marine Corp testers found the SimpliPhi OES batteries performed above and beyond expectations in providing both mission critical peak-load power, as well as long duration storage power, in a form factor that is lighter and smaller compared to standard battery formats, without a heat signature or the need for ventilation or cooling. The baseline High-Energy Lithium Battery could not perform these last discharge "stress tests" but both SimpliPhi batteries handled the tests to completion with power storage to spare at the end of the test. While this dual performance battery discharge profile is suited for mobile field operations to support telecommunication, reconnaissance and surveillance in military, emergency relief and border patrol deployments that require stealth, silent, non-heat generating energy storage and hybrid power generation applications, the OES1.3 and 2.6 high-output batteries go beyond military applications. Commercial businesses that require peak shaving based on the utility 15-minute interval billing cycles can utilize these SimpliPhi energy storage systems to hold large reserves of power on site, in very small, compact systems that do not require dedicated room installations with ventilation and cooling. Like all SimpliPhi Power energy storage solutions, they can be charged and discharged at the same time, offering an increased level of versatility. 32 Battery Power * Spring 2016 www.BatteryPowerOnline.com http://www.BatteryPowerOnline.com
