Ultralife Corporation<\/a><\/strong>, the global military-standard battery manufacturer, has tested and approved URB range of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs. This latest development in battery chemistry is a large improvement over ageing lead-acid (SLA) batteries commonly used in off-the-grid power storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruggedised, robust wind turbine, in combination with Ultralife\u2019s LiFePO4 batteries, provides an excellent off-grid power solution. It is well suited for telecommunications, defence applications, border security, mining, oil and gas production and any other situation that requires dependable, robust power generation and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The URB range of LiFePO4 batteries was designed to supplant the largely outmoded SLA cells in any application. Ranging from 29 watt-hour packs to 1,280 watt-hour, 100 amp heavy-duty power supplies, the URB range offers power in compact, ruggedised and lightweight form factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe demand for power for mission-critical in-the-field applications increases year on year,\u201d commented J D DiGiacomandrea, Applications Engineering Manager at Ultralife Corporation. \u201cThat power needs to be completely dependable, and that\u2019s what the URB range is designed to provide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe URB range far outstrips its lead-acid analogues, being rated for over five times as many full depth charge-discharge cycles as the best SLAs available. This effectively makes them five times as reliable, even before considering the increased charge density. The low internal impedance relative to SLAs also allows for heavy switching loads, such as inverters and high-power communications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weighing 11.5kg (25 lb), with a rotor diameter of 1.22 metres, the SW350 is an easily transported and constructed remote power generator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rated for up to 350 watts and incorporating SuperWind\u2019s patented overspeed protection technology, the compact package is well suited for hands-free, reliable and safe-guarded charging of Ultralife\u2019s URB range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor heavy switching load applications, the quality of the incoming power is just as crucial,\u201d DiGiacomandrea continued. \u201cThe generating equipment must be as dependable as our batteries, which is why we put the SW350 under strict test conditions to gauge its efficacy with our cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIncorrect or inconsistent charging can degrade lithium cells, with LiFePO4 chemistry cells being no exception. By ensuring that our batteries are paired with high quality generating equipment, their expected lifespan is met and, most crucially, consistent and dependable power is delivered to the mission critical field application\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
