Lithium-Manganese Dioxide: Our Lithium-Manganese Dioxide cells and batteries allow full rated capability at start-up (no voltage delay) and are significantly safer than any comparable high rate system. Cells have a 10-year shelf life and are available in various standard sizes.

Lithium ION: Our Lithium-ION prismatic (rectangular) cells offer high energy density, high capacity and long cycle life in the most common, lightweight sizes - with no memory effect. These cells, which operate over a wide temperature range, are ideal for many portable electronic devices - including rugged military equipment.


The Ultralife Advantage

We feel our choice of battery chemistries and our expertise in battery design offer true advantages to most applications. We simply have better technology. Our lithium-based (lithium-manganese dioxide, lithium ion and lithium polymer) technologies have enabled us to design leading-edge power solutions for the world's most demanding applications. All our power solutions offer these central features:

• High energy density
• Long operating life
• Long shelf life
• Lightweight
• No voltage delay
• Wide operating temperature range
