PKCell IFR26650 4000mAh Battery Ensures Mine Safety
Background / Challenge
Underground mining and other hazardous environments have a higher demand for lighting solutions. The battery must operate under extreme conditions, including high and low temperatures and humidity, without compromising safety. Key challenges for the battery in mine lighting include:
- Safety Requirements: The high-risk environment necessitates a battery chemistry inherently resistant to thermal runaway, leakage, explosion, or combustion.
- Durability and Longevity: The battery needs a long cycle life to minimize replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
- Reliable Performance: Must provide consistent power across a range of harsh operating temperatures and maintain charge during periods of storage.
- Regulatory Compliance: The final product must meet stringent mine safety equipment certification standards.
Solution
PKCELL provided the IFR26650 Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, specifically designed for use in mine lamps. The LiFePO4 chemistry addresses the critical safety concerns while offering robust performance and a long operational lifespan.
- Superior Safety: The LiFePO4 chemistry is inherently stable, mitigating the risk of thermal runaway, explosion, or combustion.
- High Performance: With a nominal voltage of 3.2V and a capacity of 4000mAh (4.0Ah), the battery provides reliable, consistent power.
- Extreme Condition Operation: Designed to operate reliably in high/low temperatures and humid conditions.
- Extended Product Life: The battery offers a long cycle life, typically withstanding over 2000 charge-discharge cycles while retaining more than 80% capacity.
- Low Maintenance: A low self-discharge rate makes it suitable for long-term storage, ensuring lamps are ready when needed.
