Smart Metering

Smart Metering applications rely on lithium batteries for a wide range of utility metering functions, from memory and real-time clock backup to up to 20 years of stand-alone power for GSM communication modules. Tadiran lithium batteries have been used by leading meter manufacturers since the early 1980s and, in particular, since the early 1990s as a power source for electronic gas meters. Tadiran’s lithium/thionyl chloride technology is especially suited for smart metering applications where low power is required over long operational periods.

Tadiran’s PulsesPlus battery technology is the preferred choice for smart metering systems in which radio modules or GSM modules must be powered reliably for 10 to 20 years.

Some smart electricity meters require a rechargeable battery to maintain communication functionality during a power failure. For these smart metering applications, Tadiran’s lithium-ion batteries provide an ideal solution.
