UBI-2590 - The Right Voltage!

Our UBI-2590, a rechargeable Lithium ION battery has the ideal voltage range for many commercial, industrial and military applications including: communications equipment, robotics, and remote data collection.

With two independent 15-volt sections, each with separate protection electronics and capacity gauges, users can operate the battery in either 15-volt or 30-volt modes.

Like all Ultralife batteries, the UBI-2590 has high rate capability, is lightweight, has high energy density, long operating life, long shelf life, and operates in a wide range of temperatures.

Our 9V Battery - Making 10 Year Smoke Alarms Possible!

Our 9V lithium battery, with a service life of 10 years, enabled all major smoke alarm manufact-urers to market the 10 year smoke alarm with confidence.

Our U9VL-J is the only standard size 9V lithium battery UL approved for use in smoke alarms. It is warranted for 10 years in ionization and select photoelectric smoke alarms and has been chosen and approved by all major smoke alarm manufacturers. Compared to other 9V options, it lasts up to 5 times longer than ordinary alkaline 9V batteries and up to 10 times longer than carbon-zinc 9V batteries.

And as always, as a consumer- replaceable battery, our 9V instantly upgrades any application requiring a 9-volt battery.

10 Important Guidelines & Precautions When Handling Li-MnO2 Cells and Batteries
  1. Store batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
  2. Do not store batteries with other hazardous or combustible materials.
  3. Keep batteries in their original packaging until ready for use. Do not store cells or batteries loosely in boxes or bins.
  4. Use special care in handling batteries. Make sure they are not punctured, crushed, mishandled, disassembled or exposed to storage temperatures exceeding the maximum specified temperature on the product technical data sheet.
  5. Inspect batteries prior to use and do not use if there is any evidence of leakage or deformity. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for precautions to use when handling leaking batteries.
  6. Use batteries only for the application for which they were designed.
  7. Turn off equipment if battery becomes hot. Wait for battery to cool before removing from equipment.
  8. Do not heat or incinerate batteries. Do not dispose of batteries with other waste unless permitted by applicable regulations.
  9. Do not short circuit battery terminals. High current may lead to excessive heating.
  10. Do not charge primary lithium batteries. Charging is considered severe abuse and may result in venting, fire or explosion under some conditions.
