As industries wrestle with the global impacts of COVID-19, it’s been clear that the healthcare industry has experienced serious new challenges. In order to continue fighting the virus, it’s now more important than ever to see that healthcare facilities and workers are not overloaded but have the right equipment and support they need. Many of the life-saving tools that are used everyday to treat patients are dependent on one core component - the battery.
What Kind of Healthcare Equipment?
Batteries, often unnoticed, are important pieces of so many advanced medical technologies. You’ll find them in everything from pacemakers and insulin pumps to x-ray monitors and even ventilators. Without the right battery systems in place, these tools can’t perform the way they were designed. The United States is the world’s leading provider of medical devices, nearly all of which have built-in batteries, even if it’s a backup option. Because of this, experts have to carefully consider which battery systems to use and who will install them.
The Transition to Lithium-Ion Batteries
For decades, lead-acid batteries have dominated the battery market. However, many industry experts agree that lithium-ion batteries are the choice of the future. One main reason for this change is a growing concern and awareness of the negative effects of lead-acid batteries on the environment. Lithium-ion batteries are not only safer, but they are also much faster to recharge, more stable, and more versatile than their predecessors. With the right management systems, they are an excellent solution to even the most complex energy needs.
