Specialty Batteries

Lithium primary (non-rechargeable) batteries are especially valuable in select consumer electronics cells (CR123), smoke detectors, military field communication devices, onboard satellite power systems, and implantable medical devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators and neuro-simulators.

Celgard offers a range of monolayer, trilayer, and surfactant-coated and/or non-woven laminated separators that provide good rate capability in these niche cell designs.

Primary (non-rechargeable) zinc air batteries target specialty medical markets such as non-implantable hearing aids. Celgard has a long history supplying the market leaders in this category and offers several products designed specifically for zinc-air electrochemical systems.

Select Celgard® monolayer, trilayer, surfactant-coated and/or non-woven laminated separators are well-suited for the long working life required in such chemistries.

Nickel Zinc (NiZn) batteries can be designed as higher energy, lower cost alternative to 12V lead acid batteries.

Celgard® surfactant-coated separators are specifically designed for good rate capability and rapid wetting in the aqueous electrolyte systems used within this application.

Celgard surfactant coated and/or non-woven laminated separators are widely used in vented Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries established in aviation, transportation, and telecommunication backup batteries.
