MPS SERIES OF STANDARD BATTERIES
Mobile Power Solutions (MPS) is your partner for standard Lithium-ion battery packs that are available for shipment and approved to the UN 38.3 transportation regulations. We are AS 9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified, as well as ANAB accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Our 15,000 Sq. Ft. state-of-the-art battery manufacturing and testing facility in located in Beaverton, Oregon. These standard batteries are just a few of the 100+ battery products produced by MPS, many for Fortune 10 customers.
MPS offers our MPS Series of standard Li-ion batteries for several uses; low volume applications that do not justify a custom battery development, initial evaluation batteries to power your device during your development process, or high volume production batteries for your portable device.
MPS produces our standard Li-ion batteries in our production facility in Beaverton, Oregon. In addition to our AS 9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certification, this facility is registered for ITAR programs. This allows our defense-related customers to utilize our standard batteries in classified or import/export controlled contracts.
Focus Applications Include;
MPS Series of Li-ion batteries are differentiated with the following features and capabilities;
Complaint with the UN 38.3 Transportation Regulations. These approvals include the battery, as well as the packaging that transports the battery during delivery. UN 38.3 Approvals are critical to ensure safe transport of the batteries and eliminate legal liability due to transportation issues. Ask us for proof of our UN 38.3 compliance.
Utilizes a standard Battery Management System (BMS) for maximum performance and cycle life. This BMS extends cycle life by protecting the cells within the battery from abuse, including over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short circuit conditions.
Utilizes the latest Nickel, Cobalt, and Aluminum (NCA) cell chemistry in 21700 cylindrical cells and Nickel, Cobalt, and Manganese (NCM) Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) cells to deliver the best energy density and power delivery.
Extends the cycle life of the battery with lot matching for each battery. All batteries are built using cells from a common lot. Utilizing cells from a common lot ensures minimal variation of their initial capacity, internal resistance, and voltage. This lot matching process maximizes performance, increases lifespan, and enhances safety of the battery.
Optional features and services include;
Utilizing our premium, custom-engineered Battery Management System (BMS), we can upgrade our standard Li-ion batteries to offer the following features;
- Fuel gauging leveraging Texas Instruments legendary Impedance Track technology. This fuel gauging provides very accurate state-of-charge, state-of-health, and temperature information throughout the life of the battery. This data is delivered by an accessory cable harness that connects the battery to the device, or an extra data wire can be added to an existing power connector. Communication protocols include DroneCAN, CANBus, SMBus, or I2C serial communications.
- Rather than using an external balancing charger, internal cell balancing (operating on the PBMS) during the charging cycle eliminates the need for a balancing charger and a balancing cable.
Using the MACCOR battery testers and environmental chambers in our test battery facility, we can simulate your specific dynamic load profiles and environmental conditions expected over the lifetime our batteries. If you suspect that the selected battery needs to perform outside the parameters of our datasheet (as most do), then we can perform those tests prior to your purchase decision. Cell capacity and rate capability degrade due to discharge cycles, temperature, age, and charge cycles. Understanding the performance curves over the life of the battery enables customers to make informed purchase decisions.
Each battery model is complaint with the UN 38.3 Transportation Regulations. Optionally, MPS can upgrade the agency approvals if the customer requires approvals beyond the obligatory UN 38.3. Leveraging our battery testing facility, additional approvals that could be applied to these batteries include RTCA DO-227/DO-311, TSO-C142, IEC 62133, and UL 2054.
