As the medical world becomes ever more portable and field-responsive, the need for smaller, lighter, and untethered devices is becoming more important. Many manufacturers of portable medical devices have upgraded their medical devices to operate on Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery technology, while others still use older battery technologies such as Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and/or Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) in their products. This webcast outlines the options available to medical device manufacturers in Li-ion battery technologies. This webcast will educate electrical and mechanical engineers of portable medical equipment about the different design advantages and use constraints of Li-ion batteries, while examining the chemistry tradeoffs between various battery choices. Registrants will gain insight on how to implement a battery solution that will enable differentiation in this increasingly competitive market.
