Saft has been selected to power MineTracer, a wireless miner tracking and communication system developed by Venture Design Services (VDSI). Utilising Saft'sintrinsically safe (IS) MP 174865 IS battery, MineTracer is an underground miner tracking system approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), a division of the U.S. federal government.

In emergency situations when power to coal mines is typically shut off, MineTracer is completely reliant on power from Saft's single cell MP 174865 IS batteries, installed in the system's Wireless Access Point. The extended-life lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries were designed to operate under extreme conditions and are capable of transmitting information on the location of trapped miners for at least 48 hours after an accident.
