Accutronics Ltd

The first thing that pops into mind when integrating a rechargeable battery into a professional application, especially into a mission critical medical or military device, is two words – reliability and safety. However, there are many other factors designers need to consider throughout the various stages of custom battery design. Michele Windsor, Direct Sales and Marketing Manager at professional battery manufacturer Accutronics, guides design engineers through the process of embedding batteries in medical, military or automation applications.

Battery specialist Accutronics has upgraded its Staffordshire test facility with a new range of specialist battery testing equipment. The new Maccor model 4200 multifunction desktop cabinet and separate floor-standing temperature chamber rigorously tests batteries for applications ranging from portable instrumentation and medical devices to robotics and defence.
