Inspired Energy Intros NL2020/24 Li-Ion Batteries

Inspired Energy Inc. (Alachua, FL), a spin-off from Energizer/Moltech's smart battery business units, launched two new standard battery offerings, which represent the highest stored energy of any currently available standard battery pack, according to the company. In addition, the company introduced a full range of smart battery diagnostic tools and upgraded its existing range of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) standard batteries to provide an extra 10% runtime.

The new 95Wh Li-Ion standard batteries, the NL2020 and NL2024, use the industry-standard SMBus smart battery system and employ the regular five-pin standard battery connector. The batteries share identical cases, weigh in at 647g (1.43lb) and are capable of a 6A continuous drain from 0°C to 50°C. The NL2020 offers 10.8V at 8.8Ah, and the NL2024 offers 14.4V at 6.6Ah. Both batteries can be shipped as normal, non-hazardous goods under the Department of Transportation's lithium battery transportation regulations, and a belt-mounted, battery pack system is currently in design for high-energy applications that use belt-mounted power sources.
