Cold Storage Scanner Batteries
Reliable Power for Cold-Chain Operations
Low temperatures increase battery internal resistance and reduce available capacity, shortening the operating time of handheld devices.
Barcode scanning, RFID reading and wireless communication can create peak loads that cause unstable voltage or sudden shutdown.
Continuous scanning, screen use and Wi-Fi or 4G communication require sufficient battery capacity throughout long warehouse shifts.
Standard lithium batteries may not support safe charging below 0°C, requiring devices to be moved to warmer areas.
Industrial handheld devices must balance runtime, power, weight and installation dimensions.
Selected UltraXel cells support reliable discharge at temperatures as low as −40°C, helping handheld equipment continue operating in cold rooms and freezer warehouses.
High-power cells support barcode, RFID, Wi-Fi and 4G peak loads.
High-capacity 18650 cells provide up to 3200mAh per cell. Different battery pack configurations can be developed according to target runtime and available space.
Selected cells support charging at temperatures as low as −20°C when used with a compatible charging and protection design.
UltraXel supports customized voltage, capacity, BMS, NTC, fuel gauge, communication interface, connector, wiring and battery structure.
