Safety and quality
At LINAK®, we prioritise safety in our battery production. We are dedicated to creating batteries with a high level of safety for people working with Li-Ion batteries in the healthcare sector, which is a key focus during our product development process. We ensure quality by only selecting battery components from well-recognised manufacturers within the market combined with additional tests in our advanced test labs to see how they perform in simulated scenarios. Then we test again, making sure the combination of components and the design of the entire product fulfil our demanding quality and safety requirements.
Safety by design
The mechanical enclosure of BA22 and BAL50 is designed to mitigate consequences in case of thermal runaway in a Li-Ion battery. Our sub-pack configuration employs an innovative blend of isolating and phase-change materials to effectively halt spread to neighbouring cells. In addition, integrated flame arrestors serve as a formidable barrier, preventing flames from escaping a compromised cell and upholding the structural integrity of the enclosure.
To provide further protection against thermal runaway, the enclosure is designed to manage overpressure effectively, contributing to a safer operational environment for the battery cells.
Quality in the details
The LINAK BA22 Li-Ion battery pack is a lightweight, high-performance power source designed specifically for PCP 2.0 control boxes. Featuring built-in charging, a 2.85 Ah capacity, and IPX6 Washable compliance, it offers extended lifetime and superior safety through a robust, vented enclosure and advanced mechanical protections. Based on NMC technology free from heavy metals, the BA22 provides reliable charging status feedback and is easily mounted or removed using the LINAK snap system – making it a smart, safe, and user-friendly choice for modern healthcare applications.

Engineered for reliability – backed by a 5-year warranty
LINAK offers a 5-year warranty on Li-Ion batteries (BA22 and BAL50). The combination of proven technology and meticulous testing makes our batteries outstanding. Years of dedicated development in combination with restrictive test runs have validated and authorised our concept. LINAK is ready to deliver products and system solutions based on the newest technology to serve various healthcare applications with long-lasting and reliable movement.
Focus on the user
LINAK Li-Ion batteries have been designed with the end user in mind. They are powerful, low weight and smaller than lead-acid batteries. And with a lifetime of up to 5 times longer than conventional batteries and no extra maintenance to prolong lifetime, Li-Ion batteries provide significant benefits to all users.
High performance – long-lasting power
Choose LINAK Li-Ion batteries for reliable and long-lasting power. As opposed to Li-Ion batteries, lead-acid battery voltage drops significantly with a downward discharge curve. Li-Ion battery users benefit from a flat discharge curve with only a slight decrease in voltage resulting in consistent power over a longer period.
Washability
Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global public health threat making infections harder and, in some cases, more difficult to treat. It all comes down to bacteria and fungi developing in a very unfortunate way and therefore, to protect patients and staff, washability of healthcare equipment and components is extremely important. LINAK batteries comply with IEC60601 and meet the IPX6 Washable standards to withstand harsh cleaning chemicals, hot water, and high-pressure jets from modern washing tunnels.
Benefits of Li-Ion batteries
Besides the performance, the long Li-Ion battery lifetime delivers a fast return on investment. Lead-acid batteries might be a cheaper option, but Li-Ion batteries last several times longer, making them the most cost-effective choice.
Digitalisation
All of our Li-Ion batteries are developed for intelligent communication with LINAK control boxes. This allows apps like OneConnect™ and LINAK Communication Interface (LCi™) to access battery status quickly and efficiently onsite or with remote access to easily indicate battery status-related issues.
Proven technology
Every LINAK product is developed with a commitment to innovative technology and superior quality with a significant focus on safety. Our robust batteries are designed with safety in mind, considering potential factors to ensure their long life.
Before leaving the factory, the batteries undergo rigorous testing for performance under different environmental conditions – including high or low temperature, varying humidity levels, and atmospheric pressure.
We are well aware of the inconveniences of a breakdown. Therefore, our goal is to ensure that you get a tried and tested high-quality product; in short; a reliable product.
Reliable supply
Healthcare application manufacturers should be able to trust the supply of batteries and components. The global presence of LINAK is our way of ensuring our customer a local and prompt supply chain to match their requirements. The LINAK production and logistics staff are certified for professional handling of your Li-Ion batteries.
