With the continuous development of medical devices, modern medicine becomes more reliant on the capabilities of these devices for therapy and diagnostics. Sophisticated equipment is usually more expensive and prone to damage due to sudden power loss or power surges. However, emergency power supplies do not keep up with the development of medical devices, and thus with the development of their needs. Traditional energy storage for uninterrupted medical power supplies is based on lead-acid batteries. All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries constitute an alternative that can provide the needed modularity, scalability, and safety required for these applications.
