With the development of society, GPS system becomes more and more important, it’s important for people to guide their ways and monitor transport situation. It needs a good battery to power it, in the past, the NiMh battery was widely used, but it has many shortcomings, for example, short cycle life only 200~300 times, its a problem to handle the waste with metal pollution, the work time is not long but need to discharge it fully before people can charge it again, this feature brings inconvenience for using.

Now, as the new rechargeable lithium battery technology developed, most of GPS now is using lithium ion battery as power, at most 60% is lithium polymer battery, because of it’s great advantages:

1-Light weight and small size, the lithium polymer battery is one of the most light lithium batteries with its soft package, and with its high cell voltage 3.7V, it needs fewer cells to make the battery pack.

2-Long work time, with cobalt material, it get high energy density which means high capacity and long work time with the same size, it’s at least 1.5 times higher than NiMh battery.Padre battery has even higher energy density than industry average level, it will be wonderful power for GPS systems.

3-No memory effect. It has no memory effect like NiMh battery, so its free for people to charge it anytime they want instead of having to wait till the power is completely discharge.

4-Environmental friendly. lithium polymer battery has no metal pollution compared to NiMh, NiCd and lead acid battery, its green energy and encouraged by governments of European and USA.

5- Long life. New lithium polymer battery has cycle life of over 500 times, can be used for 2~3 years.

OEM/ODM orders are welcome, Padre will offer the best solution and battery product according to customer’s detailed requirements. Below are some models of lithium polymer battery cells for GPS application:
