Advancements in equipment and applications in the industrial sector have resulted in a growing need for battery solutions that increase efficiency and streamline operations while providing a long-lasting power supply.

Battery packs are used in various military applications ranging from tactical drone surveillance to communication devices.

Transporting lithium metal and lithium ion batteries means adhering to international regulations. These cover stringent testing, package and storage requirements to ensure the safe containment and carriage of all lithium-ion cells and batteries.

Steatite has extensive experience of manufacturing custom battery packs and we’ve just added extra capability to our remit.

Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have relied more and more on innovations in the Energy sector to keep up with their insatiable demand for power. In this insight, we take a look at some of the developments around powering industry, and keeping maintenance costs and downtime low. From renewable wind power to alternative uses for fossil fuels, the technology driving the Energy sector is hugely diverse.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable (secondary) cells are often seen to be advantageous over Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), also a rechargeable cell type. Steatite works with both, but what do the different chemistries offer in reality? We’ve taken a look into the pros and cons of both in this insight, Nickel Metal Hydride vs Lithium-ion Cells.

Lithium rechargeable batteries are made from lithium-ion (li-ion) cells, the core component of the battery. The size and makeup of the battery is determined by the equipment it powers; a mobile phone will use a small single cell, an electric vehicle will use thousands of cells.
