The 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator Battery (35-1099-07) represents a significant technological upgrade for the Adflo PAPR system, transitioning from legacy Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) chemistry to advanced Lithium Ion (Li-ion) technology. This standard-capacity battery is engineered to provide reliable, consistent power to the Adflo blower unit, ensuring maintained airflow rates required for NIOSH certification and user safety.
One of the critical technical specifications of this unit is its energy density. Li-ion cells offer a superior power-to-weight ratio, making this battery approximately 40% lighter than its NiMH predecessors. For industrial applications where the PAPR is worn for extended periods, this weight reduction is crucial for compliance and ergonomic safety. The battery integrates seamlessly with the standard Adflo motor unit, although it requires a specific Li-ion compatible battery charger to ensure safe and efficient thermal management during the charging cycle.
The charging profile is optimized for rapid turnaround. A full charge cycle is completed in approximately 4 hours, minimizing downtime in multi-shift operations. Once fully charged, the battery delivers an operating runtime of approximately 8 to 12 hours. This variance depends on the specific configuration of the PAPR system, including the type of particulate or gas filters installed and the selected airflow setting. Heavier filter loading or higher airflow demands will naturally consume more power. The unit features a robust housing designed to resist impact and protect the cells from the harsh environment typical of metal fabrication shops.
Note: It is essential to verify charger compatibility. Older chargers designed for NiMH batteries are not compatible with this Li-ion unit. Upgrading to this battery may require the acquisition of the corresponding Li-ion smart charger to prevent damage and ensure optimal battery lifespan.
