Lithium Battery Applications in Portable Ultrasound (B-Scan) Devices
Stable power, long runtime, and safe customization for point-of-care imaging.
Overview: Why batteries matter for portable ultrasound
Portable ultrasound (portable B-scan / B ultrasound) enables point-of-care imaging in emergency medicine, rural healthcare, outpatient clinics, and home care. A key enabler of true mobility is a compact, reliable, rechargeable lithium battery system.
If you’re developing portable medical devices and need a tailored pack, PKNERGY can support OEM integration—from mechanical fit to electrical interface. For related solutions, see our Medical Device Power Solution and Contact Us page.
Power demands of portable ultrasound systems
Unlike simple handheld electronics, portable ultrasound devices integrate multiple power-hungry modules, including display screens, signal processors, probes, and storage. These components require stable, continuous power to maintain imaging accuracy and system stability during examinations.
Lithium-ion battery packs are well suited for this application due to high energy density and consistent voltage delivery through the discharge cycle, helping preserve image quality even as battery level decreases.
Design priorities for medical battery solutions
Safety & reliability
Medical packs must demonstrate consistent performance across repeated cycles. Strong protection design and robust assembly reduce failure risk.
Cell consistency
Matched cells, controlled processes, and stable pack output support dependable clinical operation.
Protection system
Appropriate BMS protections help manage common risks and support safe day-to-day usage in medical environments.
Depending on your device form factor and current demand profile, options may include lithium polymer pouch designs or cylindrical/prismatic cell packs. If you need a slim shape or flexible layout, consider Custom Lithium Polymer Battery. For long-life and stability-focused solutions, see Custom LiFePO4 Battery.
Capacity planning and clinical workflow
Runtime requirements are tightly linked to clinical workflow. Many portable ultrasound devices are expected to operate for hours on a single charge, supporting multiple examinations without interruption.
Lithium battery packs can be configured to balance operating time with weight and ergonomics, improving usability for healthcare professionals.
Customization and integration for OEMs
Each portable ultrasound device has unique mechanical and electrical requirements. Customized packs allow optimization of battery shape, connector layout, and electrical interfaces to match system design.
| Integration item | What OEMs typically need | PKNERGY support |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical fit | Size/shape constraints, mounting, enclosure match | Custom pack structure & layout |
| Electrical interface | Voltage/current profile, connector, wiring | Connector & harness customization |
| Protection | Safe operation across usage scenarios | BMS/protection design aligned to needs |
| Serviceability | Replacement convenience & maintenance | Integration approach to simplify servicing |

Benefits in clinical use
A reliable lithium battery enhances the usability of portable ultrasound devices by reducing downtime and enabling true mobility. In emergency and remote scenarios, dependable battery power can directly impact diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes.
FAQs
How long should a portable ultrasound battery run on one charge?
Many systems are designed to run for several hours to support multiple examinations. Final runtime depends on display, processor load, probe usage, and system configuration.
Why is stable voltage important for ultrasound imaging?
Portable ultrasound electronics require stable power for consistent signal processing and display performance. Stable output helps keep imaging quality consistent as the battery discharges.
Can the battery pack be customized to match our housing and connector?
Yes. OEM customization commonly includes pack shape, connector layout, wiring harness, and electrical interface matching to your device design.
What safety elements are typically included in medical battery packs?
Medical packs generally emphasize protection design, consistent cell selection, and robust assembly processes to reduce risk and improve reliability across repeated cycles.
