In the military field, lithium thionyl chloride battery CR14250 is widely used due to its high energy density, long life and other advantages.
Special performance requirements for batteries in the military field
- High reliability: Military equipment is often in complex and dangerous environments, and batteries need to maintain stable performance under various harsh conditions. For example, in high temperature, high humidity, high salt fog marine environment, or in the process of missile launch with high intensity vibration, they must be able to work normally.
- Anti-electromagnetic interference: Military electronic equipment has extremely high requirements for electromagnetic compatibility, and batteries must have good anti-electromagnetic interference performance. For example, in radar, communication and other systems, if the battery generates electromagnetic interference, it will affect the normal operation of the system and even cause information leakage.
- Adapt to complex environments: In the face of extremely cold, extremely hot, desert, jungle and other completely different natural environments, as well as emergencies in military operations, batteries need to be able to adapt quickly and operate reliably. For example, in extremely cold areas, batteries need to ensure sufficient capacity output at low temperatures; in high temperature environments, it is necessary to prevent the internal chemical reaction from getting out of control due to excessive temperature.
- Long storage life: Since some military equipment may be on standby for a long time, the battery needs to have a long storage life. Batteries for equipment such as strategic missiles may not be used for a long time, but must be able to work normally at any time, and the storage life can reach 10 years or even more than 15 years.
Procurement standards for military customers
- Strict quality control: Military customers require battery companies to establish a complete quality management system, and batteries must pass a series of strict tests. For example, in environmental adaptability tests, performance tests under extreme conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, and damp heat must be performed; in safety tests, destructive tests such as short circuit, over-discharge, high temperature heating, and mechanical shock must be performed.
- High-standard supplier qualification review: Suppliers must have the corresponding military product production qualifications, such as national military standard quality system certification. At the same time, companies must also pass confidentiality qualification review, weapons and equipment scientific research and production licenses, and other certifications. Companies like Jiangmen Hongli Power Technology Co., Ltd. that intend to enter the military field must ensure that production sites and personnel meet military confidentiality requirements.
Development strategies of battery companies
- Technology research and development and customization: Companies need to increase investment in research and development, work closely with military units, and develop battery products that meet special performance requirements. For example, develop low-temperature battery models suitable for extremely cold environments, or customized batteries that meet the size and shape requirements of specific military equipment.
- Quality control and certification: Establish a strict quality control system to ensure that each batch of batteries meets military quality standards. At the same time, actively obtain various military product production qualification certifications to meet the procurement requirements of military customers.
- Long-term cooperation and service: Focus on long-term cooperative relationships with military customers and provide high-quality pre-sales, in-sales, and after-sales services. In terms of product supply, ensure that battery products are delivered on time, in quality, and in quantity; in terms of technical support, timely optimize product performance based on customer feedback and provide customers with customized solutions.
