The batteries are produced on automatic production lines and the company deploys long-term investment programs to enlarge its production capabilities, reduce costs and cope with increasing market demands.

PulsesPlus – Engine for Company Growth

The need for high pulse currents combined with long-term usage drove Tadiran’s R&D team to develop the PulsesPlus™ technology, which was introduced in 2000. Tadiran’s manufactured product, which combines the primary lithium battery with a unique Hybrid Layer Capacitor of AA and AAA diameters, provides a wide range of applications at the customer’s demands and is the contributor for the company’s growth. The company tiny size cell (AAA battery diameter) with unique capabilities of pulse generation in high current, enables the customers to down-size their products together with cost savings.

TLI - Lithium Batteries for Harsh Environments
