SHIP 2590 BATTERIES BY AIR

Ultralife’s UBI-2590 batteries are used by militaries and consumers across the globe, making ease-of-shipment by air vital.

Push the button on our new UCH0057-01 charger and it sets the battery's state-of-charge (SoC) at 20% — a level compliant with air transportation regulations*.

Compatible smart batteries include the UBBL09-01, UBBL10-01, UBBL10-01-CB, UBBL13-01,
UBBL13-01-CB and UBBL62.  Non-smart UBI-2590 batteries can also be charged but not using the air shipment button.

Smart UBI-2590 batteries contain two independent battery sections, which can be connected in either series or parallel mode to increase voltage or capacity respectively. Users can sense check the charger by looking at two fuel gauges (one for each section) at the top of the battery. Each fuel gauge displays the state-of-charge of its section in 5 LED segments (each representing 20% charge). Therefore, if the charger has finished its task, one LED should be lit in each fuel gauge.

The one-bay charger's features also include:

  • LED status indicator
  • Simultaneous standalone charging
  • SBS v1.1 compliant
  • Safety circuit protects against charging shorted packs

*Since April 2016, Lithium-ion batteries that are offered for transport by air and which are packed by themselves (i.e. not contained in or packed with equipment) are required to be shipped at a state-of-charge not exceeding 30% of their rated design capacity. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to a fine or imprisonment. (Air and other transportation regulations are subject to change at any time. Be sure to check with your shipping provider before sending.)
Ultralife recommends that, after the battery has reached its destination (at 20 percent state-of-charge), it is charged to 100 percent before storing it or before use.
