They are one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a very slow loss of charge when not in use. Lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. Lithium-ion batteries are also Environmentally Friendly. Lithium-ion batteries have advanced to the level where there are very few applications that cannot take advantage of the excellent cycle life, power & energy density and wide operating temperature range inherent in Lithium-ion technology. SWE has reduced to practice all of this intellectual property in delivered products used in above-ground, down hole and subsea applications.
SWE has produced a number of patents directly related to the control of Lithium-Ion batteries and has various related trade secrets – some of which are being considered for future patent applications. SWE participates with the intellectual community in sharing technical advances via international battery technology conferences and technical journals. SWE has invested extensively in acquiring technology and creating intellectual property associated with development of battery packs and battery systems that utilize Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer chemistry.
Battery packs built to customer specifications using Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer cells have been Designed and Developed at SWE for over 20 years.
