Automatic Meter Reader Custom Battery Packs
Excell Battery Company presently serves many customers whose primary product(s) are used by various utility companies in applications that support either remote or automatic meter reading for electricity, water, and natural gas utilities.
Product applications found in the AMR Market generally require battery chemistry suitable for use in a wide temperature range. Additionally, mechanical cell construction needs to be robust and able to withstand the demands of an industrial application that may see significant temperature changes.
The leading chemistry used in AMR applications is Lithium-thionyl chloride, a 3.6 volt primary (non-rechargeable) chemistry. This chemistry offers very high energy density, low self-discharge, long service life, and an operating temperature range of -55⁰C to + 85⁰C. Specific manufacturer’s also offer extended temperature range cells to +125⁰C. Manufacturers found on our line card are known worldwide for their cell quality, performance, and safety; they are the leaders in producing Lithium-thionyl chloride cells. From wafer cells to high capacity “D” cells, Excell Battery is capable of providing you with a solution that meets the needs of your AMR product.
Our technical expertise and long history of supplying products in the AMR market area combined with Master Distribution agreements with leading cell manufacturers such as Saft, Tadiran, Electrochem, and Vitzrocell, positions Excell Battery Company as a solutions leader in the AMR Market. Whatever your design criterion is, we have the product and the experience to assist you from concept to finished product.
