Li-Ion
batteries have a set of features which makes them very suitable
for a very wide range of portable equipment of any kind.
- high energy
density, especially respective to weight (40-50% higher than NiCd,
20-30% higher than NiMH), reaching 100-150Wh/kg
- high cell
voltage of 3.7V, which is equal to 3 NiCd/NiMH cells
- no memory
effect
- fast chargeable
at up to 1C resulting in 2h charge, whereas 80% of the capacity
will be charged during the first hour
- high discharge
currents of up to 2C
- low self
discharge rate
- pollution
free, no use of heavy metals like lead, cadmium or mercury
- Lithium is
not used in metal form and therefore does not have any restrictions
for air transportation
- with new
technologies applied and appropriate protection modules safety
risks are virtually non existent anymore
- life time
of around 500 charge/discharge cycles
Callisto electronics
Ltd. is determined to bring this technology to a wider range of
applications and can provide the necessary support for selecting
the right size for your application, provide the necessary protection
circuit and can assemble the batteries to a complete pack with protection
module, housing, etc.. Please find here our Li-Ion
