Applications
Modular Energy Devices (ModEnergy) products often provide improvements in applications currently served by Lead-acid batteries, and new applications which require large high-energy rechargeable batteries. ModEnergy Li-ion batteries are aimed at industrial, defense and transportation applications where size, weight and operational life are critical requirements. Our batteries are often designed to be “drop-in” replacements to Lead-acid strings; typically with no change to the existing charging system.
Telecommunications
Our products allow service providers to increase DC back-up time without adding additional cabinets, reinforcing roof or floors or expanding buildings. We have hundreds of proven installations that demonstrate significant cost savings in wireless cabinets and central offices. Even greater benefits are realized when the costs of zoning approvals, permitting, cranes, site lease modifications and power distribution system components are considered.
ModEnergy offers a series of superior batteries for these backup energy applications. ModEnergy Lithium-ion batteries occupy on half to one third as much space as the Lead-acid batteries at lower weight. They are less sensitive to temperature excursions and discharge rate. For example, ModEnergy provided Lithium-ion batteries for mobile cell phone sites in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC.
Renewable Energy
ModEnergy batteries offer dramatic improvements in cycle life, energy density and temperature tolerance compared to VRLA batteries. For example at 50% depth of discharge, a ModEnergy battery can deliver 8,000 cycles compared to 650 cycles delivered by VRLA. When replacement and service calls are accounted for, ModEnergy Lithium-ion is a smart buy when providing energy storage for wind, solar or other alternative energy application.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
ModEnergy Li-ion batteries are an excellent choice for UPS applications because of their significantly higher energy density, reliability, temperature tolerance and safety. They are often a drop-in replacement for VRLA batteries.
One of the best features of the ModEnergy Li-ion arrays is in its minimal space requirements as compared to similar Lead-acid applications.
Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles
ModEnergy has on-going electric vehicle development programs proving out our technology in real-word conditions. We deal only with vehicle OEMs for our transportation products.

Defense
ModEnergy is active in several qualification programs where our products have been tested at extreme conditions, including operation at temperatures from -47°C to 65°C; MIL-STD-804 shock, vibration and submergence; and MIL-STD-461 EMI.
Our products have been performance tested independently by both US and Foreign Militaries.
