Inspired Energy Inc. has launched two new standard battery offerings, each of which represents the highest stored energy of any currently available standard battery pack. In addition, the company introduced a full range of smart battery diagnostic tools and upgraded its existing range of Li-ion standard batteries to provide an extra 10% runtime.
The new 95Wh Li-ion standard batteries were launched in response to customer demand for longer running battery packs and batteries providing higher discharge currents. Both batteries use the industry-standard SMBus smart battery system and employ the regular 5-pin standard battery connector. They share identical cases, weigh 647 g (1.43 lb), and are capable of a 6A continuous drain from 0°C to 50°C.
Both batteries can be shipped as normal, nonhazardous goods under the DOT Li battery transportation regulations. A belt-mounted battery pack system is currently in design for high-energy applications that use belt-mounted power sources.
In addition to these new batteries, Inspired Energy has increased the capacity of its existing standard Li-ion batteries from 6Ah to 6.6Ah, and introduced a range of battery diagnostic tools.
