When developing an industrial grade, wireless device intended for long-term deployment, design engineers must strike a balance between two inherently competing goals: long-term robust product performance and low initial cost. For remote battery-powered devices, this ‘seesaw’ battle can lead to compromised solutions involving unnecessarily large and heavy batteries that carry unforeseen expenses. This results in […]
When to Use Industrial Batteries
Considerable confusion exists regarding the choice of available battery technologies. This general lack of knowledge stems partly from the fact that consumer batteries have become so ubiquitous, and their use so often taken for granted, as billions of rechargeable and primary (non-rechargeable) batteries are manufactured annually for use in all types of devices. Batteries found […]
