Panasonic battery solutions for health and safety

Anyone who walks through a hospital observantly will notice numerous battery-operated devices: as a mobile energy source, they ensure the reliable operation of infusion pumps and operating tables. They are used to power wheelchairs and play an important part in monitoring the health condition of patients by means of monitors and blood pressure meters. Panasonic has the right battery solution for all of these applications. “With batteries, it is especially important to have an application-specific selection in order to achieve optimal performance”, explains Oliver Sonnemann, Sales & Marketing Director. “The recommended battery for use in wheelchairs, for example, is our Lithium-ion battery NCR-18650BD. Its high energy density and low internal resistance make it ideal for mobile applications.” For applications requiring high reliability, on the other hand, the BK-210AH Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries are a good choice: they feature a long life of up to 10 years.  

In addition to medical applications, Panasonic batteries are also used to prevent burglary: they protect private homes as an energy source for electronic door locking systems, burglar alarms and high-security package mailboxes. Used in smoke detectors they also protect property and health. With this breadth and depth to the portfolio, Panasonic offers the right battery for every application. Door locking systems, for example, require batteries with low self-discharge and a high pulse capability. This is provided by Panasonic lithium batteries for industrial applications due to their long service life and no passivation phenomenon. 

For medical and safety applications Panasonic has produced two new entertaining videos with sample applications and solutions, as well as additional useful information. They are now available on the YouTube channel and on the Panasonic website. On the website one can also download the latest video of the “Good Energy” campaign, which provides information on the use of batteries in smoke detectors. For help with finding the right battery, the company has further developed the Battery Finder, which is available both as a mobile app and as an HTML application: with the Battery Finder app one can search for and compare batteries based on different parameters. The download area of the website also offers a wealth of information on Panasonic industrial batteries – including data sheets, photos and video clips.
