Inspired Energy Intros NC2040/NF2040 Batteries

Inspired Energy Inc. (Alachua, FL) launched two smaller versions of its NI2040 standard lithium-ion (Li-Ion) smart battery, the NC2040 and the NF2040. The new battery packs complete a range of batteries sharing similar physical shape and offering a range of battery power and sizes to suit a variety of applications. The NC2040 and NF2040 can be shipped as normal, non-hazardous goods under the US Department of Transportation and United Nations Li-Ion battery transportation regulations.

Both batteries share the same oval cross section as the larger, nine-cell NI2040. The NC2040 contains only three cells and the NF2040 contains six cells, which results in a shorter, lighter battery packs. Aimed at providing a small, light, Li-Ion battery pack for hand-held and highly portable applications, the NC2040 enables device designers to eliminate battery design, tooling, testing and certification, by choosing established components. The NF2040 is a mid-range power source aimed at small mobile electronic devices, and offers the same lower-cost design, tooling and testing advantages as its smaller and larger siblings. Because the NC2040 and NF2040 share the same cross section and five-pin standard battery connection system as the NI2040, a smart charger designed for the NI2040 will also charge the NC2040 and NF2040.
