LITHIUM ION - THE NEXT GENERATION IN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

Leveraging its rich heritage and technical expertise in battery technology, EaglePicher is playing a key role in the development of Li-ion for aerospace, defense, underwater, medical and other elite markets. Li-ion provides higher energy levels and longer cycle life at a lower weight and in smaller volumes than lead acid, Ni-Cd, or Ni-MH batteries.

EaglePicher has improved Li-ion battery packaging efficiency using true prismatic design over cylindrical and battery performance is increased with EaglePicher’s Battery Management System circuitry that protects and balances individual cells. With state-of-the-art research and manufacturing facilities, EaglePicher is focused on several core market applications, including:

• Aircraft
• Military, communication and scientific satellites
• Launch vehicle systems
• Unmanned underwater vehicles
• Submarines
• Special operations
• Portable devices
• Unmanned aerial vehicles
• Medical devices, through our affiliate EaglePicher Medical Power
