Reliability-critical battery and capacitor applications require rugged, long-lasting packaging designs. Offering durable hermetic protection, glass-to-metal sealing (GTMS) is the technology of choice for lithium primary and industrial-grade lithium-ion battery lids, as well as gas-tight caps for aluminum electrolyte capacitors and ultracapacitors.

Extending the life of lithium-ion batteries and the preservation of their capacity is a major challenge in the development of ever more efficient battery systems. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) absorbent glass powder from SCHOTT is capable of permanently binding hydrofluoric acid and permanently preventing its damaging effect on the cells.

SEFUSE® is SCHOTT’s established brand of thermal links, which are designed to protect electronics from catching fire by cutting off electrical circuits in case of overheating. SEFUSE® thermal links deliver long-lasting performance and serve many applications, including home appliances, automobiles, and workplace electronics.

SCHOTT SEFUSE® D6S battery fuses and SEREB® thermal battery protection switches are used for the protection of li-ion battery packs. SEFUSE® D6S battery fuses protect li-ion batteries from overcurrent and overcharging. SEREB® thermal battery protection switches prevent potentially dangerous instances of overheating.
