Lake Success, NY- Tadiran Batteries, the world’s leading manufacturer of industrial grade ultra-long-life lithium batteries, has just introduced TLM-1550SPM high-power AA-size lithium oxide batteries for use in critical applications.

Building on decades of success, Tadiran developed the TLM-1550SPM lithium metal oxide battery as an innovative alternative that combines a small footprint, high-power output, high capacity and energy density, on-demand response, extended operating life, and extreme reliability in harsh environments. Key attributes include:

  • Miniaturized, delivers high power within a compact form
  • Ruggedly designed, with a wide temperature range for extreme environments
  • Ultra-long shelf life, due to a very low annual self-discharge rate

TLM-1550SPM cells provide reliable power to a wide variety of industrial applications, including IIoT-connected devices, industrial monitoring and actuation, surgical power tools, various military/aerospace applications, eCall automotive emergency warning systems, and emergency back-up power, to name a few.

For example, the medical industry can utilize TLM-1550SPM batteries to make surgical power tools smaller, lighter, and more ergonomic while being more powerful. For the military/aerospace industry, the TLM-1550SPM provides a highly reliable and economical COTS solution for a wide range of applications. A prime example is using it as a replacement for legacy reserve thermal batteries that do not allow for periodic system readiness testing without exhausting the battery. 

A main advantage of the TLM-1550SPM battery is its extended battery life, resulting from a very low annual self-discharge rate. These cells can be stored for up to 20 years or more while being able to deliver instantaneous power with no voltage drop or delay. They also perform well in extreme environments due to a wide temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. While in storage, the temperature range is -55°C to +105°C, making them ideal for use in Artic regions, desert climates, and narrowly confined spaces.

TLM-1550SPM batteries feature exceptionally high energy density and high capacity to support product miniaturization, packing high-power energy into a compact AA-size form factor, efficiently doubling the power output compared to previous generations. These cells also permit a high rate of discharge, including up to 20A pulses and 10A continuous current. 

Together, these unique characteristics make TLM-1550SPM high-power batteries a uniquely beneficial power supply solution for a wide variety of critical applications. 

About Tadiran Batteries

Over 50 years ago, Tadiran pioneered the use of ultra-long-life lithium batteries to power remote wireless devices and other critical applications. Over many decades, Tadiran has continually refined and expanded its product offerings to incorporate a variety of chemistries, including lithium thionyl chloride (XOL, iXtra, PulsesPlus cells for two-way wireless communications, and high temperature TLH Series), along with TLI Series rechargeable Li-ion cells and TLM Series lithium metal oxide batteries.

TLM-1550SPM

Lake Success, NY – Tadiran Batteries, a leading manufacturer of industrial grade lithium batteries, has just introduced TLI-1550HT rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries that are specifically modified for medical applications requiring autoclave sterilization cycles at temperatures up to 125°C. Common applications include surgical saws, drills, reamers, staplers, shavers, and wire/pin drivers.

Use of a TLI-1550HT rechargeable Li-ion battery delivers a highly cost-effective solution that allows medical devices to be reused hundreds of times without having to remove or replace the battery prior to autoclave sterilization. This saves labor expense and minimizes the risk of harmful bacteria and other pathogens from being introduced during excessive handling: a maintenance-free solution that complements the major cost savings associated with a reusable device.

TLI-1550HT cylindrical cells (51 mm x 14.8 mm) feature high capacity (0.4Ah), high energy density (170 Wh/liter), and high power density (210Wh/liter). Use of these small but powerful cells enables handheld medical devices to be more compact and ergonomic to reduce operator fatigue.

Unlike consumer grade rechargeable Li-ion cells that have a limited temperature range (0 – 60°C), industrial grade TLI-1550HT batteries deliver stable and reliable performance at elevated temperatures. Laboratory tests showed that after 100 sterilization cycles at 125°C, TLI-1550HT batteries continue to deliver a highly stable OCV (4.1V) with only a modest reduction in discharge capacity (370 mAh to 320 mAH) and pulse voltage (3.900V to 3.640V). These industrial grade cells also feature a glass-to-metal seal, whereas consumer grade Li-ion batteries are made with crimped seals that may leak.

The introduction of the TLI-1550HT cell further expands Tadiran’s family of long-life TLI Series rechargeable Li-ion batteries that can operate for up to 20 years and 5,000 recharge cycles while delivering high pulses.

Tadiran is also the pioneer and world’s leading manufacturer of primary (non-rechargeable) bobbin-type lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl2) batteries that offer unrivaled long-life performance, including cells proven to operate for up to 40 years. Tadiran bobbin-type LiSOCl2 batteries include cylindrical cells, coin-sized cells, battery packs, and Pulses Plus™ batteries for high pulse applications.
