Read more »A Quick Guide to Choosing the Right High Capacity Lithium Ion Battery
Lithium ion batteries have become the standard power source for just about everything these days. From small batteries for handhelds to high power/high capacity ones for vehicles, anything battery powered uses Li-ion batteries. However, when it comes to choosing the right battery for your application, there are many different factors to consider. Balancing out these factors to match the requirements of your equipment will help you find the right lithium ion battery you need.
Energy Density
Energy density is always an important factor to consider when choosing a battery. Energy density refers to the amount of energy stored in the battery compared to weight, and higher energy density means more energy packed into a smaller, lighter-weight package. If the battery that you buy doesn’t have the right energy density, you could end up dealing with an excessive need for recharging, space constraints, a

Read more »Design Considerations for Drone Batteries
One of the more complex applications that we develop batteries for is drones–complex because there are specific considerations that our customers have to keep in mind. We've compiled a list of ten significant considerations when choosing a drone battery. A good battery will balance these factors, such as energy density, power, weight, durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness, and ultimately provide optimal performance and flight experience.
Energy Density
A good drone battery should have a high energy density, meaning it can store a large amount of energy per unit of weight or volume. This energy density allows the drone to fly longer without frequent recharging.
Power Output
The battery should deliver sufficient power to supply the drone's motors and other electronics, especially during maneuvers or adverse conditions.
Weight
While energy density is necessary, the drone b

Read more »Considerations for Choosing a Universal Battery Charger
Universal battery chargers are becoming more important, as the number of different electronic devices being used increases throughout everything from everyday life to critical applications such as Defense and Aerospace. There are many things to consider when choosing the right universal charger, and to protect your devices and maintain their battery life, finding the right charger is important.
What ‘universal’ means in the context of charging
Universal is somewhat of a misleading term for a battery charger. No charger is truly ‘universal’. Different batteries, especially for different devices, often have unique chemistries or voltages that need to be kept in mind. If a charger is not compatible with a battery’s chemistry, it could damage th
