Trusting your entire smart grid to an inferior battery is just plain stupid.
Tadiran batteries have been proven to operate for 25+ years continuously in wireless AMR/AMI meters. Tadiran batteries are unique in their ability to permit AMR meters to provide low battery status alerts, helping eliminate premature battery change-outs.
Back in 1984, Aclara (formerly Hexagram) started using Tadiran batteries to power one of the earliest versions of a wireless AMR meter. They chose wisely, because thousands of those AMR units continued to operate for over 25 years on their original Tadiran batteries, with tests indicating that they still had plenty of available capacity. Now, even longer-lasting Tadiran lithium batteries are powering the newest generation of Aclara STAR meter transmitter units (MTUs). With such a proven track record, it’s no surprise that virtually all leading AMR device manufacturers continue to choose Tadiran batteries to provide utility companies with greater peace-of-mind, lower cost of ownership, and higher return on investment (ROI).
More and more of today’s AMI networks are utilizing advanced 2-way communications that demand high current pulses. Tadiran PulsesPlus batteries offer a unique solution that combines the benefits of a bobbin-type cell with a patented hybrid layer capacitor (HLC) that delivers high current pulses. PulsesPlus batteries also feature an exclusive end-of-life indication feature that permits devices to be programmed to provide a low battery status alert well before a PulsesPlus battery loses its charge and requires replacement.
This exclusive end-of-life indication feature is highly beneficial to utility managers, as system-wide AMR battery change-outs can be costly and highly disruptive to billing cycles. So don’t chance it. Demand Tadiran, the only battery PROVEN to last 25+ years in AMR/AMI utility metering applications.
