Because of their unique characteristics, Tadiran Batteries for many years have been used successfully for targeting devices of firearms and other military applications.
PulsesPlus-Batteries are ideal for applications requiring long life and high energy under high current pulse requirements. They extend replacement intervals, withstand rough environments and are safer than other lithium batteries. They also can deliver power from the HLC while the primary cell is still recovering from its voltage delay. These characteristics have made them an ideal solution for applications like the firing unit of ejection seats or the fan in a gas mask.
Tadiran’s commercial TLM battery technology has evolved to meet the military’s needs. Lithium solutions are cost-effective, offer long shelf life and instantaneous activation without requiring a squib, heater or heat shield. This predestines the TLM technology for novel applications where very high power density is required for a short period of time after long storage periods.

Off-shore
Batteries for the off-shore market segment can become comparatively large for several reasons: They operate far away from infrastructure that allows low power communication, it is very expensive to replace the batteries, they may operate under water or in cold areas. The sheer size of the batteries makes it even more important to select the battery system with the highest energy density.
For example, in an acoustic underwater positioning system, a 25.2 V – 266 Ah PulsesPlus battery runs 500 days while an alkaline battery of the same size runs only 200 days. If the equipment operates in the northpole area, the advantage is even greater. A Tadiran lithium battery with 32 D-cells weighs only 3.2 kg. It replaces an alkaline battery using 380 D-cells and weighing 54 kg.

Tracking
Some tracking applications using active RFID solutions represent mass markets which include Electronic Toll Collection for cars where millions of Tadiran Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries are being used by car owners in their toll tags because they need swift and reliable service when passing a road toll station. Likewise, these batteries are used as back-up batteries in on-board units for truck toll collection such as the satellite based Toll Collect system.
High voltage, high energy, wide temperature range, small size and low weight as well as an outstanding reliability are the decisive factors in the selection process for the right battery.
Tracking containers and railway carriages may require higher pulse currents because they rarely have an electrical power source other than the battery that comes with the tracking equipment. If this equipment communicates via radio or GSM network, Tadiran’s PulsesPlus battery offers the best value tradeoff between high power, long life, and affordability for all possible tracking solutions.
Animal tracking programs demand small, powerful batteries. Through the years, Tadiran lithium thionyl chloride batteries have been selected for numerous animal tracking research programs due to their high capacity and high energy density, which translates into the reduced size and weight and the smallest possible footprint. These batteries also help farmers to reduce the cost of milk production and cattle breeding by wireless health monitoring and fertility management of cows.
