Lithium Batteries for Wireless Sensor Networks

The author studied physics and physical chemistry at the University of Bonn. He joined Sonnenschein in 1980. As manager of Quality Assurance, he led Sonnenschein Lithium GmbH to ISO 9001 certification in 1993. Since 2002, he has been Manager of Applications Engineering. In 2006, Sonnenschein Lithium changed its name to Tadiran Batteries.

Tadiran Batteries is a leader in the development and manufacture of lithium batteries for industrial use. Its Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LTC) technology is well established for more than 25 years. Tadiran LTC-Batteries are suitable where a 3.6 Volt high energy primary battery is required for up to ten years and more stand alone operation.

The PulsesPlus™ technology, combining a Hybrid Layer Capacitor (HLC) that can provide high current pulses with a high energy primary cell, has been successfully introduced into the market and plays a significant role especially where GSM modules require a long-term stand-alone power source.
