Cell-Con, Inc, a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of battery assemblies and charging systems, announces the availability of new, high capacity (up to 25Ah and greater) li-poly battery packs and charging solutions. The thin shape of these new lithium polymer low and high power systems allow for lighter and slimmer products, with the capability of fitting into the same space as cylindrical lithium ion products (20% lighter), and double the capacity of nickel metal hydride cells. The new li-poly battery packs (http://www.cell-con.com/), are protected against reverse polarity and short circuits, include circuitry for pack protection and cell balancing functionality, and the ability for authentication or encryption coding.
Mumma added, "Lithium polymer allows for 100 percent utilization of the power contained in the cells and can provide more than 500 cycles. No venting is required and no caustic emissions
take place as in lead acid technology." Lithium polymer and lithium ion cells have become the industry standard due to their high capacity and longer operating times compared to nickel
metal hydride, nickel cadmium, and sealed lead acid cell chemistries.
Battery chargers with charge current rates of over 10A are also available. For more information on the new lithium polymer battery packs, or to download detailed PDF documents explaining
the functionality of the many product options, please visit Cell-Con.com (
