High tech lithium
Power for critical applications
Two major chemistries for critical applications requiring reliable, enhanced performance over long time periods.
Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LTC)
Lithium Manganese Dioxide
These are very high capacity chemistries capable of working over wide temperature ranges.
Available in cylindrical format – spirally wound for high rate pulse usage, LTC is also available in a bobbin construction for lower rate usage.
Applications are: utility metering, tolling, military systems, tracking, emergency and security systems, medical devices.
