Inspired Energy smart batteries go beyond traditional batteries by incorporating advanced intelligence and communication capabilities. Here’s how they compare:

• Real-Time Monitoring: Our smart batteries provide detailed data on state of charge, cycle life, voltage, temperature, and overall health, allowing for better power management and system optimization. Regular batteries do not offer this level of insight.

• Integrated Battery Management System (BMS): Inspired Energy smart batteries feature a built-in BMS that helps prevent overcharging, deep discharge, and overheating, ensuring maximum efficiency and longevity. Standard batteries lack management and safety.

• Communication Capabilities: Our smart batteries use industry-standard communication protocols (SMBus) to seamlessly integrate with devices, providing real-time diagnostics and performance updates. Regular batteries do not communicate with the device beyond basic power output.

• Longer Lifespan & Efficiency: With optimized charging cycles, superior lithium-ion cells, and intelligent power management, Inspired Energy smart batteries typically last longer and perform more efficiently than conventional batteries.

• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Many of our smart batteries are designed as drop-in replacements with easy integration into a variety of applications, reducing the need for additional power management hardware.

By choosing Inspired Energy smart batteries, you gain a more reliable, intelligent, and efficient power source tailored to demanding applications.

Our team is dedicated to meeting the highest standards, and we will provide updates as we achieve certification milestones. For any additional questions about ISO certifications, please contact us.

Data sheets, along with SDS (Safety Data Sheets), UN38.3 test summaries, and REACH & RoHS compliance documents, can be found on each product’s page on our website.

Additional relevant documents, including shipping-related certifications and guidelines, can also be found on our shipping page.

For CAD files, technical drawings or supporting documents, additional support may be required. Please contact our technical support team to access to these resources.

The HD and QE models from Inspired Energy differ primarily in the certifications and regulatory approvals they carry:

• HD Models:
  The HD models are our standard battery solutions designed for general use in a wide range of applications. These models provide reliable power, but do not carry the additional international certifications found in the QE models.

• QE Models:
  The QE models are designed to meet specific global safety and regulatory standards, making them suitable for more highly regulated industries and international markets. The QE models can have the following certifications:

  • IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)

  • UL (Underwriters Laboratories)

  • CSA 62133-2

  • KC (Korean Certification)

  • BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards)

  • PSE (Product Safety Electrical)

These additional certifications ensure that the QE models meet stringent safety, quality, and regulatory requirements, making them ideal for markets with specific compliance needs.

Since all Inspired Energy smart batteries share the same SMBus address, it is necessary to use a 1-to-2 DEMUX (e.g., PCA9544A) to allow for independent communication with each battery. The DEMUX acts as a communication controller, enabling separate addressing for each battery to avoid conflicts and ensure proper data transfer between your system and the batteries.

There are many factors which play into the actual shelf life of a Lithium-Ion battery.

For general care & wellbeing of Li Ion batteries, we follow a few rules of thumb:

• Check batteries in inventory every 4 months; especially if, upon removal from storage, you require the batteries to perform a specific function in your device without recharging.

• Do not store Li Ion batteries for longer than 6-months at low % SOC.

• Store batteries at or slightly below room temperature (10-20°C is ideal)

• Shipping Li Ion batteries at <30% state of charge meets regulatory requirements & should always be undertaken.

• Rather than buying large quantities of battery packs & storing them for long periods, we recommend using a blanket order to schedule your shipments to more closely coincide with your demand. Using this Just-in-Time system ensures you always have fresh battery packs to meet your needs.

• Li Ion cells typically lose 5% capacity per year / 5% capacity every 100 cycles in general use.

• Maintaining Li Ion cells at 100% state of charge can cause 5-10% capacity loss.

(Note: These are considered conservative rules of thumb, intended to provide a general guide to use & maintenance of your Li Ion battery pack. They do not represent a specification or warranty.)

Small changes in storage temperature can have a large effect on shelf life & cell discharge rates can vary significantly. Inspired Energy does not specify a fixed self-discharge rate due to the large number of variables playing a part. Our products are specified for 6 months of shelf life from the date of shipment after which we recommend a capacity check & recharge if required..

You can find the most up-to-date SDS (Safety Data Sheet) on our Regulatory & Shipping page, as well as directly on the product pages for each battery.

These documents provide important safety and handling information for all of our products.

The SMBus address of the battery is 0x16 (H16). This address is used for communication between the battery and the smart charger or host system.

At Inspired Energy, we offer a range of value-added services to enhance the functionality and convenience of our products, including:

• Barcoding: We can provide barcoding for both the battery and packaging, enabling efficient tracking and inventory management.

Check out the table below to see which batteries are compatible with each charger.

A smart charger optimally charges a smart battery by interacting with the battery’s built-in Battery Management System (BMS). The charger either "listens" to the battery’s broadcasts of ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() parameters or actively polls these registers to retrieve real-time data on the battery’s needs.

Both parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association) profile, which is designed to optimize the charging process for Li-ion batteries. This profile ensures the battery is charged safely and efficiently, accounting for temperature, charge state, and other factors.

Once the charger receives the current charging parameters, it applies the requested charging current and voltage to the battery terminals, ensuring the battery charges at the most efficient rate without risk of overcharging or overheating.

This smart charging process not only prolongs the battery's life but also maximizes performance and safety.

Due to the unregulated manufacturing, design, and quality control of third-party smart batteries, we do not guarantee compatibility with these products.

Our chargers are specifically designed and optimized for use with Inspired Energy Smart Batteries, ensuring reliable performance, safety, and longevity.

For the best results, we recommend using Inspired Energy batteries with our chargers to ensure proper functionality and maintain the integrity of both the charger and battery.

We offer three types of power cords for our desktop chargers, depending on your region:

• EU (European Union)

• UK (United Kingdom)

• A (American)

All our desktop chargers come with a standard IEC C14 receptacle, which connects to the power supply, ensuring compatibility with various power outlets around the world.

Yes, it is possible to integrate our embeddable boards with existing systems, as long as your system has the necessary power and space to accommodate the boards. These boards are designed to be flexible and can be integrated into a wide range of applications, but you'll need to ensure that the system's power supply and physical dimensions can support the integration.

Yes, our embeddable boards can be customized to meet the specific needs of your application. Whether it's adjusting the form factor, adding specific features, or modifying performance parameters, we can tailor the boards to fit your requirements.

We offer a variety of accessories to complement our products, including:
