Why use rechargeable Vanadium Pentoxide Lithium Cells?
This technology, the 10 year+, used in the Aico Ei160RC series(Aico Ei161RC, Aico Ei164RC, Aico Ei166RC) battery cells, provides the best and most effective/reliable back-up power available. Confirmed by the manufacturer, Panasonic, the cells used are the only rechargeable cells with a realistic ten year life expectancy. Constantly being “charged” or “topped-up” by the mains, the Vanadium Pentoxide Lithium Cells out-perform the lithium primary batteries, capacitors or rechargeable cells currently used in other smoke alarms.
