Unlocking the Possibilities of Lithium Ion
 
The Intelligent Power Vault is a multi-battery power source that incorporates the latest Lithium-ion smart battery technology, intelligent charging circuitry and efficient regulated power control in a high energy, rechargeable battery system that is conveniently designed into certified transportable & power backup devices across medical and industrial markets.
 
The innovative use of modular VR420A batteries enables for simple fitting and removal which permits transportation of the Intelligent Power Vault without the cost and complexity of dangerous goods shipping.
 
The IPV06 accepts up to six VR420A batteries delivering a retained energy up to 536Wh.
 
A Simple Solution for Transportation
 
International regulations impose restrictions on the transportation of Lithium Ion batteries, with added restrictions imposed on those capable of storing >100Wh. These extra restrictions enrich both shipping time and cost. A >100Wh lithium Ion battery must be consigned as class 9 dangerous goods, regardless of whether it is packed alone, packed with, or contained within equipment. The shipper must also be dangerous goods certified, which adds further complexity throughout the supply chain.
 
The Intelligent Power Vault solves the transportation problem - it is simple to ship across various modes of transport because its Lithium Ion batteries are <100Wh, modular and removable. For example, when shipping by air, the Intelligent Power vault is classed as 'equipment' and can be packed along with its VR420 batteries (and up to two spares) under section II of packing instruction 966 (UN3481). A shipper's declaration of dangerous goods is not needed and the shipper needs only limited training.
