Custom Power Starts with Your Application

We believe a successful battery or power system design begins with the operating profile, not a catalog part number.

Ultralife engineers evaluate voltage, current demand, pulse load, runtime, space envelope, operating and storage temperature, safety requirements, shipping classification, certifications, and total lifecycle requirements. For lithium thionyl chloride systems, for example, cell or pack configuration, temperature range, current rate, capacity, available space, safety, UN shipping requirements, quality certifications, cost, and availability are all key selection factors.

From there, the design can be optimized around:

  • Lithium chemistry selection

  • Cell format and configuration

  • Series and parallel pack architecture

  • Welded or soldered interconnects for continuity reliability

  • Protection electronics and safety devices

  • Mechanical packaging, connectors, and sealing

  • Charger, docking, or power supply integration

  • Communications and electronics system compatibility

  • Compliance and transport requirements
