Battery and energy products
This segment manufactures and markets Lithium Manganese Dioxide (Li-MnO2), Lithium Manganese Dioxide Carbon Monofluoride (Li-CFx/MnO2) hybrid and Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl2) non-rechargeable batteries including 9-volt, HiRate cylindrical, ThinCell, and others. Applications for its 9-volt batteries include smoke alarms, wireless security systems, and intensive care monitors. Its HiRate and ThinCell Lithium non-rechargeable batteries are sold primarily to the military and to OEMs in industrial markets for use in radios, emergency radio beacons, search and rescue transponders, pipeline inspection gauges, portable medical devices and other instruments and applications. Military applications for its non-rechargeable HiRate batteries include manpack and survival radios, night vision devices, targeting devices, chemical agent monitors, and thermal imaging equipment. Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries, sold under the ABLE and Ultralife brands as well as a private label brand, are used in utility meters, wireless security devices, electronic meters, automotive electronics, and geothermal devices. The chemistry of lithium batteries provides significant advantages over other currently available non-rechargeable battery technologies. These advantages include higher energy density, lighter weight, longer operating time, longer shelf life, and a wider operating temperature range.[5]
