Thanks to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), remote wireless devices are increasing in number and novelty, with industrial-grade lithium batteries playing a central role. Many wireless products are also getting smaller, so paying attention to battery design and chemistry makes a big difference in performance and cost-effectiveness.
According to Sol Jacobs, vice president and general manager, Tadiran Batteries, lithium batteries pack more energy into smaller footprints, allowing wireless devices to be smaller, lighter, more ergonomic, and cheaper to transport. Lithium chemistries offer the highest specific energy (energy per unit weight), highest energy density (energy per unit volume) and current voltage (OCV) range of 2.7 to 3.6 volts (V), an effective contributor to product miniaturization.
