At CM Batteries, we specialize in developing custom lithium-ion battery packs that thrive in the world’s most challenging work environments. Our expertise creates battery powered solutions that not only withstand harsh conditions but also ensure the safety of both equipment and personnel. Let’s explore how we address the unique challenges of powering devices in harsh locations.
What Extreme Environments Are Lithium Battery Packs Subjected to?
Hazardous environments present a complex set of challenges for battery powered solutions. These areas may feature:
- Corrosive atmospheres
- Extreme temperature fluctuations
- High-pressure conditions
- Presence of flammable or explosive materials
Our team understands that standard battery packs won’t bear in extreme environments. That’s why we are devoted to creating a comprehensive platform for custom battery design with safe and reliable performance.
Extreme Temperatures: CM Batteries’ Cutting-Edge Solutions
At CM Batteries, we understand that the temperature brings lithium precipitation phenomenon and brings some hazards. Our lithium-ion battery packs have shown amazing performance in extreme cold and heat environments with our advanced battery technology.
High-Temperature Battery Pack Performance
Our high-temperature battery redefines resilience:
- Operational range of -40°C to 85°C, used for industrial applications and outdoor IoT devices
- Advanced technology supporting the battery pack performance in extreme temperatures from 60°C to 100°C (140°F to 210°F)
- Exclusive agency high-temperature cell solutions, superior heat insulation, and innovative absorption and cooling technologies.
Cold-Weather Battery Pack Capabilities
CMB’s low-temperature battery packs maintain unparalleled performance in extremely low-temperature environments:
- Effective discharge at temperatures as low as -50°C with high capacity retention
- Charging capability down to -20°C
- Optional self-heating and waterproof IP68 functions for added versatility
- Customizable capacities and shapes to meet specific application needs
Safe Gas Venting: A CM Batteries Innovation
Li-ion battery packs need to ventilate which will take away the temperature and other air from inside. It will ensure the battery does not bulge or explosion. Our engineers have developed innovative vent solutions that allow for safe gas release without risking interaction with potentially explosive external atmospheres.
Safe Protection Solutions for Electronic Function
We employ advanced techniques to protect all electronic components to boost reliability and better performance.
- Conformal Coating: We apply protective layers to circuit boards, shielding against moisture and corrosive elements.
- Potting and Encapsulation: Critical components are fully embedded in protective compounds, such as resins, creating an impenetrable barrier against environmental threats. To improve the reliability, we will put the PCBs in the temperature oven before assembling them. The humidity affects the performance. Each engineering experience will boost reliability.
- EMI/RFI Shielding: We incorporate materials and designs that protect against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
Global Certifications
CM Batteries can not provide all the certifications for each custom battery model. But our factory can get the approvals for the global certifications for your personalized battery pack. Our battery packs comply with the most stringent global certifications:
- CE/IEC62133: We ensure compliance with these crucial European and international standards.
- UL2054/UL2272/UL1973: Our products meet the requirements set by UL2054/UL2272/UL1973.
- Custom Battery Certifications: We work closely with regulatory bodies to obtain specialized certifications for unique applications.
Our in-house regulatory experts stay abreast of the latest changes in global standards, ensuring our clients always have compliant battery powered solutions.
CMB’s Customized Battery Pack Design Concepts
When creating custom lithium-ion battery packs for harsh environments, we consider every aspect of the application. Our design philosophy revolves around several key principles:
1. Robust Enclosures: Our battery housings are engineered to withstand environmental stressors and prevent damage to internal components.
2. Thermal Management: We implement advanced cooling systems and insulation to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
3. Intelligent Circuits Protection: Our battery management systems (BMS) are designed with overcharging, over-discharging, and short circuits protection.
4. Venting: When the cells are damaged, our designs incorporate safe venting mechanisms to prevent dangerous pressure buildup.
5. Safe Design: We develop battery packs that reduce to release sufficient electrical or thermal energy to ignite hazardous atmospheric mixtures.
6. Application-Specific Design: We tailor every aspect of our battery packs to the unique demands of your application.
