Medical cart battery manufacturer Ultralife Corporation will be exhibiting at HiMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition from March 10-12, 2026, at the Venetian Convention & Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On Booth 3061 (VE2), Ultralife will be joined by Karta Healthcare, a leading manufacturer of space-saving medical carts, as the two companies celebrate four years of partnership. At the show, Ultralife says it will showcase its hot-swap batteries for medical carts that can be replaced in three seconds using one hand.
Launching at HiMSS, the X5-SuperLite utilises one of these batteries to power up to two USB-C compatible devices simultaneously. These could be laptops or tablet computers, such as iPads, commonly used for patient record keeping.
When carts need to power more than two devices simultaneously, another X5-SuperLite can be attached to the cart. Both chargers can then be connected to an optional state-of-charge indicator pendant that displays the remaining run-time of each battery, based on existing load, in one convenient place.
Both the X5-SuperLite and the X5 Power System have been designed to provide uninterruptible power according to the company. At any time during or after cart use, users can plug the power solutions into AC mains to charge the battery/batteries. When AC mains is unavailable or inconvenient, Ultralife has designed hold-up batteries for both the X5 Power System (as standard) and X5-SuperLite (optional) that can provide up to five minutes of power.
“We developed the X5 series in collaboration with Karta Healthcare, so that it would be compatible with their medical carts that feature a nesting design,” explained Leon Adams, VP of Sales and Marketing at Ultralife Corporation. “HiMSS is the perfect place to showcase this technology to the medical industry, and we’re looking forward to having Karta Healthcare on the booth with us.”
“We are delighted to be exhibiting with Ultralife once again,” explained Reece Munro, Director of Product and Innovation at Karta Healthcare. “Our four-year partnership has led to us being able to supply medical facilities with unique products that meet their exact requirements for power solutions and medical carts. The X5-SuperLite is the latest example, as hospitals are seeking a way to streamline their carts by using only USB-C compatible laptops and tablet computers.”
