Lithium-ion (Li-ion) : MP cell range

Rechargeable battery
Download literature
Saft MP prismatic rechargeable cells are based on lithium-ion chemistry. In addition to unrivalled nominal capacities, and long cycle-life, their most innovative feature is the capability to be charged and discharged over a wide temperature range, especially at low temperatures.
 
The MP cells feature various redundant safety features (electronic protection circuit, built-in circuit breaker in case of a charger fault, safety valve, shut down separator) which makes them ideal for demanding applications (military, medical, etc.).
 

 

Battery assemblies

To maximize performance and ensure total safety, Saft and its certified pack makers integrate MP cells into battery assemblies designed to the specific requirements of each application.

 

Construction features

  • stainless steel or aluminium container
  • hermetic and sturdy glass-to-metal sealing
  • built-in circuit breaker and safety vent
  • shutdown separator (operating at temperatures > 125°C)
  • available as individual batteries or multi-cell battery packs

Main applications  

  • military radiocommunication
  • mobile asset tracking
  • small UPS
  • portable medical defibrillators
  • professional portable lighting (miners caps lamps, etc.)
  • portable gas detection
