Some Day All Lithium-Ion Batteries Will Be Made This Way?

There is much discussion in the media about the perceived safety concerns of Lithium-ion battery technology.

IDX Technology maintains that if properly implemented, the technology is not only safe but constitutes the best solution for powering portable equipment used throughout the broadcast industry.

Safety and reliability is designed into all IDX batteries from the sourcing of the cells to the housing in which they are contained.

IDX works closely with Panasonic Sanyo, sourcing from them matched cells selected for electrical load, longer life cycles, temperature tolerances and cost. Jointly developed safety technology safeguards against over current, over charge, over discharge and exposure to extreme temperatures.

First introduced into the DUO battery range in 2013, all new IDX battery designs incorporate a honeycomb internal structure that effectively isolates each Li-ion cell from its neighbour.

In Japan this is seen as a significant safety measure and forms part of their PSE law which governs electrical appliance safety in Japan.

Although not mandatory in Europe, the benefits are self-evident because the structure benefits not only safety but also the mechanical integrity of the housing is stronger.
