For stable operation of smart meters (electricity, gas, water). SaFT battery.

Proven adoption of smart meters both domestically and internationally - Maintains large capacity in harsh environments ranging from -60°C to +85°C. Eliminates the hassle of battery replacement and achieves long-term stable communication.

In the digitization of water meters and remote meter reading (IoT implementation), the most important factor is stability that is not affected by the installation environment. SaFT's lithium primary batteries go beyond being just batteries; they serve as a "power source" that ensures the system continues to operate reliably, supporting the longevity of infrastructure. 【Are you facing any of these issues?】 - Want to eliminate communication errors caused by extreme outdoor temperature fluctuations (from the scorching heat of summer to sub-zero temperatures in winter)? - Looking to reduce the frequency of battery replacements for external communication devices and achieve long-term operation? - Want to mitigate the risk of sudden resets and transmission errors by enhancing the multifunctionality of communication modules? - Searching for a high-energy-density power source that can accommodate increased communication frequency in limited space? - As an infrastructure device, want to maintain high safety even against severe temperature changes and shocks? *For more details, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.

basic information

■ Three Capabilities to Solve On-Site Challenges 1. Avoiding communication errors in harsh outdoor temperature changes (from extreme heat in summer to sub-zero temperatures in winter) SaFT accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures, including high temperatures due to direct sunlight and cold snaps in winter, achieving stable pulse output at both high and low extremes. This minimizes the risks of "resend costs" and "on-site surveys" associated with data loss. 2. Achieving maintenance-free operation through "long lifespan characteristics" and optimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) With an extremely low self-discharge rate, it enables long-term operation and reduces the frequency of battery replacements. Additionally, by minimizing maintenance after installation and reducing discarded batteries, it significantly contributes to environmental burden reduction (SDGs). 3. "High reliability" honed in domestic and international infrastructure markets In addition to a wealth of achievements in Europe, a leader in smart meters, it has already established a track record in the domestic smart meter market, continuing to be chosen in development sites that demand high reliability.

Applications/Examples of results

[Case Study] Paris Water Authority: Optimization of Smart Meter Operations [Challenges] It was necessary to accurately understand the remaining lifespan of each meter based on the actual usage conditions of the meters installed in the field. Additionally, the traditional uniform replacement cycle could lead to discrepancies with actual usage conditions, resulting in increased costs due to excessive replacements and risks of unexpected failures. [Measures and Results] To continue data acquisition, we analyzed the batteries collected from the field to assess the condition and degradation status of the meters. - Inspection of the battery's appearance and structure (corrosion, leakage, damage, etc.) - Measurement of remaining capacity through SaFT's proprietary analysis - Verification of discharge characteristics and self-discharge - Measurement of internal battery conditions - Analysis of power consumption data based on actual usage environments From these results, we clarified factors affecting lifespan, such as temperature, installation location, and humidity. Based on this, we derived measures to optimize battery lifespan. As a result, we were able to make planned maintenance and replacement decisions, achieving optimization in the management of meter assets. SaFT not only provides the batteries themselves but also analyzes factors affecting lifespan and offers recommendations for optimal usage and management methods.
