Circadian Battery System: Power Without Downtime
Why long-life batteries are quietly powering the next wave of pharma mobility.
In pharma, every second counts and downtime isn’t just frustrating, it’s expensive. When a workstation stops rolling because its battery gives out, you’re not just losing power, you’re risking delayed batches, missed audits, and broken focus on the floor.

That’s where the Circadian Battery System steps in. It’s not a flashy upgrade, it’s a dependable backbone that keeps your workstations (and your teams) moving around the clock.
So, what is the Circadian Battery System?
Think of it as a hot-swappable, lithium-ion power pack built to outlast the workstations it sits in.
- Available in 160 Wh or 240 Wh sizes
- 2,500+ cycles with 60–80% capacity retention
- 2–3 hour charge time
- 5–7 year lifespan, depending on usage
The real kicker is that you don’t need an engineer or a service contract to swap one out. A member of your team can do it in minutes with nothing more than an Allen key.
What makes it different?
Most competitor systems use fixed batteries. Once those degrade, the whole cart or workstation is basically dead weight. You either pay for an engineer to replace the pack or scrap the cart altogether.
The Circadian System flips that on its head. Batteries are:
- Swappable: downtime is measured in minutes, not days
- Serviceable: simple checks with LED indicators tell you health, state, and runtime
- Flexible: can be deactivated and shelved for a year without damage
- Compliant: IEC 60601 certified, safe to use within feet of sensitive equipment
And because they’re designed with direct current power, they run more efficiently. No inverters constantly drawing energy in the background. Less energy waste, smaller carbon footprint, lower cost of ownership.

Outcomes that matter
This isn’t about “nice-to-have” specs. It’s about outcomes you’ll feel on the floor:
- No unexpected downtime: operators stay productive
- Lower total cost of ownership: 5-year warranty vs. 12–18 months elsewhere
- Cleaner compliance: fewer workarounds, stronger audit trails
- Longer lifecycle: one power system can outlast multiple workstations
It’s the kind of infrastructure that pays for itself... not in vague promises, but in saved batches, avoided replacements, and smoother audits.
Who’s using it?
The Circadian Battery System is already trusted by Eli Lilly, MSD, BioMarin, and Alexion. They don’t buy gimmicks. They buy what works and what keeps their operations moving without risk.
Final word
Pharma workflows aren’t slowing down. If anything, the pressure’s rising: more compliance, faster lines, less tolerance for error.
A fixed-battery cart is a ticking clock. The Circadian Battery System buys you time, certainty, and control - three things every cleanroom team could use more of.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the lifespan of the Circadian Battery System? Between 5–7 years depending on usage, with more than 2,500 cycles and 60–80% capacity retention.
- How does it compare to competitor batteries? Competitor batteries are often fixed and degrade within 12–18 months, requiring costly engineer callouts or replacement workstations. Circadian batteries are swappable, long-life, and backed by a 5-year warranty.
- How long does it take to charge? Around 2–3 hours, with hot-swap functionality that keeps workstations in service during charging.
- Is it cleanroom compliant? Yes. The batteries and charging units are designed for cleanroom and pharma manufacturing environments, with IEC 60601 safety compliance.
- Can the batteries be stored long-term? Yes. They can be deactivated and safely shelved for up to a year without damage.
