Headquartered in Beijing, China, Huanyu New Energy is a joint venture by Henan Huanyu Group and Origo Partners PLC, a British fund management and investment company that specializes in the research and development, manufacture, and sales of advanced lithium power batteries. Founded in 1982, Henan Huanyu Group was the pioneer of the rechargeable battery industry in China and maintains one of the largest vertically integrated business operations in the Chinese rechargeable battery industry. Huanyu Group supplies their advanced battery solutions to name brands such as BOSCH, Black & Decker, Makita, Electrolux and RYOBI.
Flux identified Huanyu New Energy as an ideal supplier to provide its existing and potential customer base with cost-effective and technologically advanced lithium batteries for Flux Powers' advanced energy storage systems (ESS). Chris Anthony, Flux Power's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the agreement by stating, "This is a major step for Flux Power, as it enhances our ability to work with large customers to meet their design, delivery and quality goals while providing more technologically advanced energy storage systems to all our customers. Huanyu's products deliver consistently superior output and better energy density than any cells we have evaluated and I am confident that our customers will appreciate the added features and safety benefits that Huanyu's products bring to our advanced energy storage systems. I'm also excited to expand our relationship with Huanyu, enabling tremendous growth into new markets."

Huanyu New Energy's battery products consist of soft-packed, large capacity rechargeable Lithium cells without the excess electrolyte of traditional packaged cells. This pouch cell battery technology yields uniformity and longer cycle life with less volatile compounds and enhanced safety. In addition, the batteries can be installed in any direction, substantially improving the utilization of system space. These characteristics make Huanyu cells an ideal power source for the electric vehicle (EV), solar storage, grid storage, and back-up power markets addressed by Flux Power.
"We are delighted to work with Flux Power on their advanced energy storage systems and we hope that this agreement is only the first step towards expanding our relationship in North American, Europe and Asia," said Mr. Cheng, CEO of Huanyu Group.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
