10 Reasons to be Cheerful!!

October 22nd, 2008

Strong sales, record web site traffic, new products - yes, approaching our 10th Anniversary, Cell Pack Solutions celebrates with a cheerful smile! In fact the last few months have been some of our strongest ever - great news as we approach the next 10 years with confidence. Despite the gloomy economic forecasts in recent weeks, Cell Pack Solutions sales of custom made cell packs and industrial batteries are at a record high. Bolstered by new products and improved design and manufacturing techniques our custom made services are in high demand.

Eddie Czestochowski - the founder and managing director of Cell Pack Solutions says: “We started from humble beginnings in a small unit at Tedco in Jarrow in 1998. Now we employ 16 people in manufacturing, stores, sales and marketing in our new facilities in South Shields. Our marketing strategy of targeting specific markets and keeping focused on them works. For instance each of our web sites serves different market sectors and we make it easy for people to find us and the products/services they need”.

Our industrial web site www.cellpacksolutions.co.uk is going through a complete re-development. Here we feature the standard ranges of industrial batteries from the array of manufacturers that we represent and work with along with our custom made cell pack services. The site is going to feature full e-commerce and online buying and will enable customers to benefit from quantity discounts when buying online - saving them money in the process.

The site also features full battery datasheet specifications shown as online pages and as PDF downloads - useful for product designers, engineers and OEM’s that need full battery and cell pack specifications.

Eddie continues: “Our aim is to provide as much useful information to customers as possible online. We also are able to help with hard to find batteries and can build cell packs that are obsolete. We have built up a huge database of battery and cell pack cross references that enable us to help most companies - if we cannot find a battery or cell pack to suit, then we can design and develop a new one for them.”

“As we celebrate our first 10 years of success we are all looking forward to the exciting challenges not just on the horizon but over the next 10 years!”

 

Young Andrew Completes Work Experience

October 22nd, 2008

Off To A Racing Start

Young Student Andrew Nickerson was presented a Remote Control Kit Car after completing his two weeks work experience with Cell Pack Solutions.

As part of his experience he built a Racing Car from Kit form and assisted in Repairs as well as getting to grips with the assembly processes involved in Custom Battery Pack Design.

Derek Hunter Divisional Manager of CPS HOBBIES decided that it would be a nice gesture to give Andrew a reward for his enthusiasm demonstrated over the time he spent with us. This is the second year in row the company has assisted in the Schools Work Experience Scheme, we had full support from all parties Connexions, Mortimer School and TDR and are looking forward to getting involved in the future.

Reviews.

September 25th, 2008

At Cell Pack Solutions we are always looking at ways in which we can improve our service to the customer. That is why we have decided to create a section on each of our product pages, where you can add a product review or look at what other people have had to say about the product. So far this has proven popular; customers have been leaving tips on what devices certain batteries go in.

In addition to this some customers are leaving helpful tips to ensure fellow customers are correctly installing there batteries. Due to our great effort in developing this feature we would appreciate if after you order from us, you could leave some feedback on the product.

We would like to like to Thank You in advance for your forthcoming input.

Happy Birthday To You!!

September 25th, 2008

Finally!!

Who would have thought after 10 years we would still be here! It makes me very happy to announce that Cell Pack Solutions Limited has been fully operational and on November 1st 2008 is able to celebrate it 10th Birthday. 

I am sure many folk would agree that at first it was hard, but as time went on we have managed to develop a massive customer base that has helped us very much along the way, from a financial and support standpoint, and for this we are very grateful.

 Many things have changed since Cell Pack first burst on to the scene, we now work out of three units, one of which is CPS Hobbies, which is the brain child of Derek Hunter – lets hope he can even be half the success of Cell Pack and celebrate their 10 years in business, and we all know the potential is there.  We employ more staff than ever, 15 loyal servants, all working in perfect harmony!

Well its about time to wrap this speech up, so I would like you to raise your glass, tune those vocal chords, and join me in wishing Cell Pack Solutions a very Happy Birthday!! Hip-Hip!!

New Battery for High Current Pulses

April 20th, 2007

Cell Pack Solutions are offering a new type of battery technology. The Pulses Plus™ battery range from Tadiran’s is a unique solution for applications requiring low background currents combined with high current pulses.

The Pulses Plus™ battery range combines bobbin type Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li/SOCl2) cells with a novel hermetically sealed Hybrid Layer Capacitor (HLC). This new battery technology can be used to deliver, efficiently, pulses up to several amperes with a voltage window between 3.9 to 3.0 V. They can be connected in series or in parallel to achieve higher pulses and higher voltages by combining multiple cell/HLC’s into battery packs.

They are ideally suited to applications in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Toll Tags Transponders, Various Military uses, Automatic Meter Reading Devices, Location and tracking systems, GPS/GSM Related Systems, Emergency Equipment, Oceanographic Devices and Medical equipment where long life and durability are vital requirements.

Pulses Plus™ battery technology additionally offers an unique combination of operation advantages such as high energy density with a high and stable operating voltage of 3.67 V as standard and 3.9 V as an option. Their high pulse current capability also has no passivation effect. They can be used in a wide range of operating temperature range between -40 °C to + 85 °C. They have an outstanding storage capability (up to 10 Years) with a very low self discharge characteristics (less than 1.5 % per year)

Cell Pack Solutions claim that all these features together make it the Pulses Plus™ battery range the ultimate power source for many long term (independent and stand-by) high current pulse applications.
