eading industrial battery
manufacturer Ultralife Corporation has launched the URB24200, a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack, to power lightweight motorised and data back-up applications. Such applications can be found in industrial, medical and defense settings. The new battery joins a range of ten LiFePO4 batteries that offer uniform voltage than sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries of the same capacity, providing a sought-after balance of size, weight and power. The URB24200 is a secondary
(rechargeable) battery pack with an average voltage of 25.6V and a rated capacity of 20.0Ah. Up to two batteries can be connected in series, to produce 48V, and up to ten units can be connected in parallel, increasing the capacity to 228Ah. Each battery is more than three times lighter than SLA alternatives, weighing 8.1Kg (17.9lbs) compared with up to 45Kg (100lbs). This makes it suitable for applications including wheelchairs, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery replacements and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
Housed in metal to provide high structural strength and impact resistance, the internal cells and components are protected from mechanical damage. The metal housing material also offers stronger heat dissipation

than plastic, allowing the battery to conduct heat more effectively during high-load operations.
The new battery can also store energy generated by any compatible renewable energy source, including solar panels and wind turbines, providing a green, environmentally friendly option.
“Ultralife is adding to its portfolio of SLA explained Robert Brown, marketing executive at Ultralife. “This allows us to expand further into robotics, energy storage and other “The URB24200 can be embedded into

“Unlike SLA batteries, it can also maintain its nominal voltage over a wider temperature range. The total cost of ownership is lower than SLA too, especially when you consider that it can be fully cycled up to 2,500 times compared to 300-500 for SLA, potentially quadrupling
Finally, the URB24200 is compatible with 2 phase SLA chargers, avoiding the need to purchase dedicated LiFePO4 chargers. the Ultralife Corporation website and download the technical datasheet. To see the full range of Lithium Iron Phosphate packs, click here.
