Twenty-five years ago, Aclara™ (formerly Hexagram,Inc.) installed hundreds of thousands automatic meter reading (AMR) devices for the utility market. Powered by a Tadiran TL-2100 AA-size lithium thionyl chloride battery, virtually all of these decades-old devices are still operating on their original battery, validated by laboratory tests confirming that these cells have retained nearly 25% of their original capacity.

Glenn Emelko, Director of Technology, discusses why Aclara continues to choose Tadiran TL-4903 lithium batteries for use in their STAR® Network wireless fixed-network AMR units. Aclara selected Tadiran batteries based on superior performance characteristics, including higher energy density, higher capacity, a temperature range of 55ºC to +85ºC., and 20+ year service life.
