Utility AMR/AMI Applications
24-year-old AMR meters are still running on their original Tadiran batteries

In 1984, Hexagram chose Tadiran batteries to power their wireless AMR meters. They chose wisely, because thousands of those AMR units are still operating 25 years later on their original Tadiran batteries. Now, even longer-lasting Tadiran lithium batteries power the newest generation of STAR meter transmitter units (MTUs). So it’s no surprise that virtualy all leading AMR device manufacturers choose Tadiran batteries to provide their utility customers with greater peace-of-mind.

Feature-rich AMR devices that require high current pulses are being powered by Tadiran PulsesPlus batteries. PulsesPlus batteries combine the unique benefits of a bobbin-type cell with a patented hybrid layer capacitor (HLC) that delivers the high current pulses required by the latest AMR technology. PulsesPlus batteries also feature an exclusive end-of-life indication feature that provides the opportunity to receive advanced notification before a PulsesPlus battery loses its charge and requires replacement.

Our exclusive end-of-life indication feature is also highly beneficial to utility managers, as system-wide AMR battery change-outs can be very expensive and highly disruptive to billing cycles. So don’t chance it. Demand Tadiran, the only battery PROVEN to last 25 years in AMR utility metering applications.
