News Announcement

This is a news announcement that we currently are developing a revolutionary Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable battery belt for video, television & other uses with the following features:

The total power will be about 140 Watt/hours. That is 9.6 Amp/hours (9,600 mAh) at a nominal Voltage of 14.6 Volts.

There will probably be a 3 position switch so users can select 12, 13.2 & 14.4 Volt levels depending on the application needs.
The maximum continuous discharge Amperage should be about 20 Amps (about 260 Watts).
The weight of batteries, case & belt should be around 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms).
This would use a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) chemistry which actually has no lithium in it & the battery has INTRINSICALLY SAFE technology (EN50020) built in so that it is certified to be safe for transportation. This built-in redundant safety protection eliminates the concerns of previous Li-ion chemistry batteries.
The life cycle will be far greater than either NiMH or NiCad chemistry, this Li-ion battery will still have over 70% of rated capacity after 850 cycles.
It will operate in extreme temperature environments – 50°C to + 60°C (-58°F to 140°F)
It will turn itself off if Voltage drops below 10 Volts to prevent over discharge.
Extremely low self discharge rate (stays close to full charge for months).
Maintenance-free, no memory effect.
Comes with smart fast charger that can charge as fast as 2-3 hours.
Selling price to be under $900. CDN including battery belt & separate fast charger.

If you are interested in this Lithium-ion battery belt product that is under development, or for addition information, please contact Doug Hembruff or phone (519) 657-4505.
