September 14, 2010 - ECN Webcast: Innovative Product Design using Lithium Polymer Batteries
Lithium polymer batteries have been used in simple devices such as cell phones or MP3 players to revive product lines with new innovative, ultra-thin form factors. Commercial, medical, and military equipment manufacturers can recognize the benefits of Lithium polymer batteries and the new applications that they enable. In order to address the needs of industrial markets, these thin and custom shaped cells can be used in large, complex, multi-cell packs. We will explain the advantages and limitations of lithium polymer cells relative to metal-cased cylindrical and prismatic lithium-ion cells. Topics to be covered during this webcast include: • Range of dimensions • Current delivery capabilities • Cycle life • Environmental constraints • Packaging considerations • Supplier assessments

April 27, 2010 - Electronic Design & Power Electronics Technology One Powerful Day
What Kind of Batteries Are Out There, and What Are They Good For? Matching battery type to application has become increasing challenging as battery makers have pushed old frontiers backward. Are lithium batteries inevitably flame-throwers? Is silver too expensive for anything but military applications? How much energy can you really get from a printed battery? Find out here.
March 16, 2010 - Electronic Design: Using Lithium-Polymer Batteries in Commercial Devices
Commercial, medical, and military equipment manufacturers are recognizing the benefits of Lithium polymer batteries, so these thin and custom shaped cells are now used in large, complex, multi-cell packs. Lithium polymer batteries had been used almost exclusively in single-cell consumer applications like cell phones or MP3 players until recently. This net seminar explains the advantages and limitations of lithium polymer cells relative to metal-cased cylindrical and prismatic lithium-ion cells. Topics covered include the range of dimensions, current delivery capabilities, cycle life, environmental constraints, packaging considerations, and supplier assessments. Finally, this net seminar discusses design considerations that device manufacturers must consider when designing a device that utilizes lithium polymer cells in complex commercial applications.
February 11, 2010 - EE Times: Advantages of Iron Phosphate Battery Systems for Portable Applications
Manufacturers of mobile equipment can achieve lighter weight, longer runtime, faster charge time and longer shelf-life with new the new iron phosphate Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology over older Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries. In addition, Li-ion delivers a lower total cost of ownership for the end customer because of its long cycle life and low environmental impact. This new technology makes direct field replacement for existing products a reality. Attendees will learn about: Power performance, environmental, and cost comparisons between the two battery technologies How iron phosphate Li-ion batteries can replace SLA batteries with minimal implications to lead acid powered products ranging from computer workstations to wheelchairs Implementing Li-ion technology in current and future products.
