Introduction

Handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are essential tools for material identification, metal sorting, and alloy composition testing. As industries demand faster and more mobile elemental analysis, OEMs increasingly rely on custom lithium battery packs that provide long runtime, stable output, and enhanced operator safety.

Why Lithium Battery for XRF Devices

XRF analyzers consume significant power due to X-ray tube operation and real-time data processing. Traditional NiMH packs often fail to sustain the necessary voltage or capacity, while lithium-ion technology delivers:

• High discharge capability for X-ray generation
• Stable voltage ensuring consistent measurement accuracy
• Compact and lightweight design for handheld ergonomics
• Fast charging cycles ideal for field operations

Key Customization Requirements

• Voltage & Capacity: 14.8 V (4S) or 11.1 V (3S) packs, 3000 – 8000 mAh
• Safety & Certification: UN 38.3, IEC 62133, MSDS, CE
• Protection Circuit: Multi-level BMS with temperature cutoff & current limiting
• Mechanical Design: Rugged housing compatible with handheld shockproof cases
• Temperature Range: −20 °C to +60 °C for harsh field environments

Use-Case Example

An OEM specializing in metal-grade analyzers replaced a 4S NiMH pack with a 4S Li-ion 4400 mAh custom pack designed by PKNERGY, achieving:

• 45 % longer continuous measurement time
• 30 % lighter device weight
• Certified UN 38.3 transport approval for global logistics
