The 2590 battery (more specifically, the BB-2590 battery) is a U.S. Military designation used to define the design requirements a battery must have in order to properly power specific military equipment. These requirements are captured in U.S. Military Performance Specification 32052(CR). That specification (abbreviated MIL-PRF-32052) is a generic specification [...]
Iron phosphate is a relatively new lithium ion chemistry that has proven to be quite reliable, inherently safe and long lasting. While iron phosphate does not have as high an energy density or specific energy attribute as other lithium ion chemistries, it is still much higher than lead acid. [...]
Batteries that must indicate to users its real time state-of-charge information, either via an integrated indicator display or remotely through electronic communication with host equipment, require the use of a gas gauge to do so. A gas gauge is a sophisticated microprocessor that converts the analog information of a [...]
All Ultralife SMART batteries are compliant to the Smart Battery System specification and therefore make use of the SMBus protocol for the data exchange/link requirements of the system. Successful connection to the communication contacts is necessary to establish message reading and writing. Ultralife makes many Cables and Accessories, as well [...]
It is important to understand that a SMART battery is simply a better option to an already good design. Whether or not a battery is “smart” has nothing to do with the assurance that the battery is safe, of good quality, is capable of meeting the power requirements of [...]
A SMART battery is a battery pack that comes with both an integrated gas gauge computing circuit and a two-wire interface to allow the battery to communicate with a host device for the purposes of reading fields designed to provide information on the battery’s state-of-charge, state-of-health, reason of any [...]
SmartCircuit® technology is the trademark Ultralife is using to brand our family of batteries and chargers that are SMART, meaning they are fully compliant to the Smart Battery System specification, and above the performance standards of our competitors. SmartCircuit® technology provides advanced power solutions to customers who require functionality [...]
