Circuit Protection Approach for High-Rate Discharge Li-Ion Battery Applications
Ty Bowman, Global Battery Market Manager
TE Circuit Protection, a Business Unit of TE Connectivity
In 2010, a metal hybrid PPTC (MHP) technology was introduced to address the rapidly expanding market for high-rate-discharge lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery applications. The MHP arc-less contact technology results in circuit protection devices capable of providing 30 A+ hold currents at voltage ratings over 30 VDC.

The Use of Lithium-Ion Batteries in Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Michael A. Stout, Vice President Engineering
Falcon Electric, Inc.
Being in the UPS industry, Falcon Electric, Inc. is frequently asked why the industry hasn’t adopted the use of Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries inside more products. Li-Ion batteries have a much higher energy density allowing them to be smaller and weigh less than half of an equivalent Valve Regulated Sealed Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery currently used in UPS systems.

AllCell White Paper Finds Lithium Ion Battery Costs Beat Lead Acid in Hot Environments
AllCell Technologies has released a white paper comparing the economics of lithium-ion and lead acid batteries for stationary energy storage systems (ESS). Even though the initial purchase price of lead acid batteries is one-fifth the price of lithium-ion, when analyzed on a full life-cycle basis lithium-ion batteries are now cost-competitive in moderate climates and lower cost in hot climates.
