October 2025 | Tips & Information

When developing equipment for demanding markets—whether in aerospace, medical devices, defense, or industrial sensing—business leaders face three critical hurdles when evaluating new power solutions: cost, regulation, and reliability. Traditional batteries often fall short on these fronts, especially for compact devices that require long lifespans and consistent performance in harsh conditions….

October 2025 | Tips & Information

An engineering project is only as good as its weakest link. Often, that link is the power source. If your battery fails under heat, vibration, or long-term deployment, your entire design suffers. Engineers are under pressure not only to meet functionality requirements but also to deliver systems that are safe,…

When engineers design electronics, choosing the right power source is crucial. Understanding the difference can be the key to a device’s success, longevity, and reliability, and there are several different battery types to choose from. City Labs’ NanoTritium™ batteries are designed specifically for ultra-low-power systems that require consistent, dependable energy….

June 2025 | Tips & Information

In times of crisis, reliable power is not just a convenience; it’s a lifeline. Emergency systems—from communication networks to environmental monitoring devices—depend on consistent energy sources to function effectively. However, traditional batteries often fall short in critical situations, especially in remote or harsh environments. This is where City Labs’ NanoTritium™…

June 2025 | Tips & Information

As industries increasingly look toward greener technologies, batteries face growing scrutiny, not just for how they store energy, but for the long-term environmental impact they leave behind. For truly sustainable energy systems, it’s not enough for power sources to be compact or high-performing. They must also be efficient over their…
