What are industrial grade batteries?

Industrial grade applications demand more rugged and reliable batteries that can survive long-term deployments in highly-challenging industrial environments, often in places where battery access is difficult or impossible.

What are industrial batteries?

Industrial Batteries Industrial batteries are designed to last much longer and are deployed in extreme environments and remote locations that are difficult to access for battery replacement.

What are industrial grade Li-ion rechargeable batteries?

Industrial grade Li-ion rechargeable cells lend themselves to all sorts of energy harvesting applications that are emerging. Table 1. Comparison of consumer versus industrial Li-ion rechargeable batteries. Source: Tadiran Batteries

Are industrial batteries good quality?

Since industrial batteries are made to last decades and operate in more extreme environments, quality control is paramount, as battery failure can be totally unacceptable for certain highly remote applications. Rechargeable Li-ion: Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries come in both consumer and industrial grades.

How long do industrial grade Li-ion batteries last?

Industrial grade rechargeable Li-ion batteries are now available that can operate for up to 20 years and 5,000 recharge cycles versus consumer Li-ion batteries that operate for just five 5 years and 500 recharge cycles. Industrial grade Li-ion rechargeable cells lend themselves to all sorts of energy harvesting applications that are emerging.

What types of batteries are used in consumer products?

Consumer products such as phones, cameras, computers and watches mainly operate on consumer-grade alkaline, primary lithium, and lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries. While inexpensive and readily available, these batteries are often not well adapted to the fast-growing industrial internet of things (IIoT).
