Non-Rechargeable Cells

THIN CELL®

Power next-gen devices with cells as thin as 1.1mm

Efficiently packaged in a pouch cell format, ULTRALIFE’s 3.0V Thin Cells® are available in more than eight pre-engineered, compact sizes.
This small size does not compromise on performance, as Thin Cells® have an energy density of around 500Wh/l and 400Wh/Kg compared to just 300Wh/l and 260Wh/kg for the best lithium coin cells.
The use of low resistance current collectors allows ULTRALIFE Thin Cells® to outperform coin cells at higher discharge rates – the ideal solution for applications that require high bursts of energy such as those with RF transmitters.

All cells have an operating temperature range between -20°C and +60°C, meaning that they can function in low temperatures when other batteries would freeze.
All Thin Cells® are certified to UL 1642 for safety and UN 38.3 for transportation. Some are also certified to IEC 60086-4 for safety (see technical datasheets).
To maximize safety, cells do not expand or swell during storage or use.
In addition to off-the-shelf standard cell models, ULTRALIFE can specially manufacture Thin Cells® in unique sizes to suit specific customer requirements.

The world’s longest lasting Lithium 9 Volt – over 100 million sold worldwide

Whilst the competition offers lithium 9V products that boast 800mAh of capacity, ULTRALIFE’s battery offers 1200mAh or 50% more energy than the nearest brand name competitor.
Extremely lightweight, ULTRALIFE’s lithium 9V weighs 37g, approx. 18% less than the average alkaline 9V.
ULTRALIFE’s 9V also has a low internal impedance, increasing the ability for the battery to supply higher power output with a stable voltage. It also has very little magnetic signature.

ULTRALIFE’s 9 Volt is comprised of three Thin Cells®, so has the same operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.
ULTRALIFE has certified the 9 Volt to international safety standards, including UL 2054 and IEC 60086-4:2014, plus UL 217 for smoke alarms (a widely used application).
It is also certified to UN 38.3 transportation standards.
To make ULTRALIFE’s battery a drop-in replacement for alkaline 9 Volts, it meets ANSI Alkaline 1604 size specifications.

As electronics advance and become more efficient, many devices are switching to 3V

ULTRALIFE’s cylindrical shaped non-rechargeable 3.0V Lithium Manganese Dioxide (LiMnO2) cells offer excellent temperature characteristics, a flat discharge curve, and a hermetically sealed nickel plated steel container for long term shelf life.
These attributes make it perfect for applications where high currents are required after long periods of inactivity.
A diverse range of around thirty batteries, energy ratings range from 2.3 to 39.0Wh.

The majority of cells have an operating temperature range of -40°C to +72°C.
CR123A cells are certified to UL 1642 (safety) and UN 38.3 (transportation) standards.
Many other cells are UL component recognized.
When it comes to protection, some cells contain a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) safety device to limit current during short circuit conditions.
For bespoke applications with higher voltage or capacity needs, our engineers can integrate ULTRALIFE’s CR Cylindrical cells into battery packs (contact us for details).

Up to 30% more capacity performance (avg. across temperatures vs. competition)

If high capacity is essential, choose our ER Legacy cells. For better horizontal discharge performance and cell-to-cell consistency, ER Generation X cells offer industry leading characteristics.
Choose between high rate cells that offer high continuous/pulse current Amp load capability at lower Ah capacity or low rate cells that offer higher Amp hour capacity but lower Amp current rating.
Differing cell sizes and rates meet many application needs.
ULTRALIFE’s ER Generation X* family of Lithium Thionyl Chloride cells offer a high energy density of more than 400 Whr/Kg.

ER Cylindrical cells have a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.
Some cells are certified to UL 1642 and UN 38.3 transportation standards.
Cells are technician-replaceable.
All cells have a non-flammable electrolyte, providing safer operation in case of abuse.
Some cells are fitted with a PTC anti-short-circuit device for added safety.
For bespoke applications with higher voltage or capacity needs, our engineers can integrate ULTRALIFE’s ER Cylindrical cells into battery packs (contact us for details).

Approx. 50% increase in capacity and shelf-life compared to LiMnO2

ULTRALIFE’s hybrid Lithium Carbon Monofluoride Manganese Dioxide (LiCFx/MnO2) cells reduce the initial suppression of cell voltage that is typical of pure CFx chemistries.
The latest battery in the range, the XR123A is well-suited for low to medium rate applications that require a long service life.
A compact, lightweight cell; the XR123A weighs 16g.

XR123A cells have an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.
They are certified to UL 1642 (safety) and UN 38.3 (transportation) standards.
When it comes to protection, XR123A cells contain a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) safety device to limit current during short circuit conditions.
