Generation Electronics Inc. (Lowell, MA) announced its Generation Custom Lithium-Ion Battery Packs for portable solutions, which can be made in cylindrical, prismatic and coin-cell configurations in various shapes to fit specific cavity design and power requirements.

Featuring capacities from 500mA to 20A, these rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs provide up to five times the energy density of NiCd batteries for a comparable size, according to the company.

The battery packs operate from -20 to +70 degrees C and include on-board circuitry to gauge charge, temperature and remaining run time. Connector types include flying leads; pressure contacts; and solder, surface-mount and quick-connect connectors.

The Generation Custom Lithium-Ion Battery Packs are priced according to configuration and quantity, with 5,000 minimum units per year typical.
