The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Ultralife Corporation (the “Company”) and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Our monthly closing schedule is a 4/4/5 weekly-based cycle for each fiscal quarter, as opposed to a calendar month-based cycle for each fiscal quarter. While the actual dates for the quarter-ends will change slightly each year, we believe that there are not any material differences when making quarterly comparisons. |

| Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] |
On January 13, 2016, Ultralife UK Limited (the “Merger Subsidiary”), a U.K. corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultralife Corporation (the “Company”), completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Accutronics Limited (“Accutronics”), a U.K. corporation based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, U.K., from Intrinsic Equity Limited, Catapult Growth Fund Limited Partnership, MJF Pension Trustees Limited, Robert Andrew Phillips and Michael Allen (collectively, the “Sellers”). There are no material relationships between the Company or Merger Subsidiary and any of the Sellers, other than pertaining to this acquisition. Accutronics is a leading independent designer and manufacturer of smart batteries and charger systems for high-performance, feature-laden portable and handheld electronic devices and is classified in the Battery & Energy Products segment. The acquisition of Accutronics advances our strategy of commercial revenue diversification and expands our geographic reach within European OEM’s. With industry experts predicting mid-to-high single digit growth in the global medical batteries market, this strategic investment positions Ultralife well for further penetration of and growing revenue streams from an attractive commercial market. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement dated January 13, 2016 by and among the Merger Subsidiary and the Sellers. The Merger Subsidiary paid at the time of closing an aggregate purchase price of £7,575 ($10,976) in cash, and in exchange the Merger Subsidiary received all of the outstanding shares of Accutronics ordinary stock. Monies to fund the purchase price were advanced to the Merger Subsidiary from the Company’s general corporate funds. The purchase price was subject to adjustment based on the difference between actual and estimated amounts of working capital of Accutronics as well as the amount of net cash of Accutronics. The adjustment resulted in a final payment to the Sellers in the amount of £133 on February 24, 2016, bringing the total aggregate purchase price to £7,708 ($11,161). The purchase price allocation was determined in accordance with the accounting treatment of a business combination in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations . Under the guidance, the fair value of the consideration was determined and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair values has been recorded as goodwill.The allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition is presented in the table below (in thousands). Management is responsible for determining the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. Management considered a number of factors, including reference to an analysis performed under FASB ASC Topic 805 solely for the purpose of allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company’s estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. These valuations require the use of management’s assumptions, which would not reflect unanticipated events and circumstances that occur. The originally reported purchase price allocation has been updated based on information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. As a result, adjustments were made which reduced identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment by $402 and $99, respectively, and increased prepaids and other current assets, inventory, deferred income taxes on intangible assets and goodwill by $291, $75, $72 and $63, respectively.
The goodwill included in the Company’s purchase price allocation presented above represents the value of Accutronics assembled and trained workforce, the incremental value that Accutronics engineering and technology will bring to the Company and the revenue growth expected to occur over time attributable to increased market penetration from future new products and customers. The goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets included in the Company’s purchase price allocation represent customer contracts and relationships of $2,820, intellectual property of $1,132 and tradename of $421 which are amortized straight-line over a period ranging from 10 to 15 years. During the nine-month period ended September 25, 2016, direct acquisition costs of $251 and increased cost of sales related to purchase accounting adjustments of $96 for inventory acquired were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. Accutronics contributed revenue of $7,551 and an operating loss of $61 during the nine-month period ended September 25, 2016, reflecting the purchase accounting adjustments and non-recurring costs directly related to the acquisition. Set forth below is the unaudited pro forma results of the Company and Accutronics for the nine-month period ended September 27, 2015 as if the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2015 along with the reported results for the nine-month period ended September 25, 2016 which includes the consolidation of Accutronics (in thousands, except per share amounts). The unaudited pro forma results include purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the restatement of inventory to estimated fair value and the resulting increase in cost of sales for the sale of the inventory during this nine-month period, direct acquisition costs and the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the purchase price allocation.
The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the acquisition of Accutronics as a result of restructuring activities, other cost savings initiatives or sales synergies following the completion of the business combination. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined Company would have been if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the 2015 period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. |

| Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] |
On April 28, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) which became effective on May 1, 2014 and under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 1.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock over a period not to exceed twelve months. The Share Repurchase Program was extended through June 2, 2016, and the maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased under the program was increased to 3.4 million shares. Share repurchases under this program were made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18 using a variety of methods, which included open market purchases and block trades in compliance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. With the exception of repurchases made during stock trading black-out periods under 10b5-1 Plans, the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases were determined at the Company’s discretion. The Share Repurchase Program expired on June 2, 2016 and did not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares. During the nine month period ended September 25, 2016, the Company repurchased 149,904 shares under this program for a total cost (excluding fees and commissions) of $603. During the nine month period ended September 27, 2015, the Company repurchased 2,225,437 shares under this program for a total cost (excluding fees and commissions) of $9,162. From the inception of the Share Repurchase Program on May 1, 2014 through its expiration on June 2, 2016, the Company repurchased 2,592,095 shares for an aggregate cost (excluding fees and commissions) of $10,480. |

We have financing through a Revolving Credit, Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related security agreements with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), which provides a $20,000 secured asset-based revolving credit facility that includes a $1,000 letter of credit sub-facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement provides that the Credit Facility may be increased with PNC Bank’s concurrence to an amount not to exceed $35,000 prior to the last six months of the term and expires on May 24, 2017. Our available borrowing limit under the Credit Facility is based on a borrowing base formula equal to a percentage of accounts receivable, inventory and eligible foreign in-transit inventory. Interest is payable quarterly and accrues on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement at either a LIBOR-based rate or an alternate base rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable interest rate was 4.5% at September 25, 2016. We pay a quarterly fee on the Credit Facility’s unused availability at 0.375% per annum. As of September 25, 2016, we had approximately $10,660 of borrowing capacity under our $20,000 Credit Facility with PNC Bank, and we had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

| Shareholders' Equity and Share-based Payments [Text Block] |
We recorded non-cash stock compensation expense in each period as follows:
These are more fully discussed as follows: a. Stock Options We have stock options outstanding from various stock-based employee compensation plans for which we record compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions in our financial statements. As of September 25, 2016, there was $666 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.25 years. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the nine-month period ended September 25, 2016:
The following assumptions were used to value stock options granted during the nine months ended September 25, 2016:
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 25, 2016 was $2.01. FASB’s guidance for share-based payments requires cash flows from excess tax benefits to be classified as a part of cash flows from financing activities. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised stock options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock compensation costs for such stock options. We did not record any excess tax benefits in the first nine months of 2016 or 2015. Cash received from stock option exercises under our stock-based compensation plans for the three-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 was $106 and $19, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises for the nine-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 was $181 and $28, respectively. b. Restricted Stock Awards In September 2014, 49,200 shares of restricted stock were awarded to certain of our employees. These units vest over three years and we estimated their weighted average grant date fair value to be $3.24 per share. In September 2016, 15,900 shares of the awarded restricted stock vested and the Company repurchased 4,131 shares to satisfy the statutory tax withholding on shares vested for certain employees. There is $15 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these restricted shares at September 25, 2016. |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] |
We use the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. For the three-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, we recorded $92 and $130, respectively, in income tax expense. For the nine-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, we recorded $213 and $312, respectively, in income tax expense. These are detailed as follows:
The deferred income tax provision is primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities relating to goodwill and certain intangible assets that cannot be predicted to reverse for book purposes during our loss carryforward periods. The current income tax provision is primarily due to the income reported for our China operation and Accutronics (U.K.) and estimated U.S. federal alternative minimum taxes, while the remaining expense is primarily due to state taxes. Our effective consolidated tax rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 were:
The overall effective tax rate is the result of the combination of income and losses in each of our tax jurisdictions, which is particularly influenced by the fact that we have recorded a full reserve against our deferred tax assets pertaining to cumulative historical losses for our U.S. operations and certain foreign subsidiaries, as management does not believe, at this time, that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of these losses. As of December 31, 2015, we have foreign and domestic net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards totaling approximately $86,800 and $1,600, respectively, available to reduce future taxable income. Included in our NOL carryforwards are foreign loss carryforwards of approximately $12,400 that can be carried forward indefinitely. The domestic NOL carryforward of $74,400 expires from 2019 through 2034. The domestic NOL carryforward includes approximately $3,000 for which a benefit will be recorded in capital in excess of par value when realized. As a result of our operations, we file income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions.

| Earnings Per Share [Text Block] |
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of securities, if any, and is calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three-month period ended September 25, 2016, 758,593 stock options and 15,900 restricted stock units were included in the calculation of Diluted EPS as such securities are dilutive. Inclusion of these securities resulted in 91,041 additional shares in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share. For the comparable three-month period ended September 27, 2015, 1,026,282 stock options and 34,200 restricted stock units were included in the calculation of Diluted EPS resulting in 107,000 additional shares in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share. For the nine-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, 1,139,843 and 431,532 stock options and 15,900 and 34,200 restricted stock units, respectively, were included in the calculation of Diluted EPS as such securities are dilutive. Inclusion of these securities resulted in 184,564 and 47,000 additional shares, respectively, in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share. There were 1,733,083 and 1,264,422 outstanding stock options for the three-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, respectively, that were not included in EPS as the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were 1,351,833 and 1,859,172 outstanding stock options for the nine-month periods ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, respectively, that were not included in EPS as the effect would be anti-dilutive. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] |
a. Purchase Commitments As of September 25, 2016, we have made commitments to purchase approximately $493 of production machinery and equipment. b. Product Warranties We estimate future costs associated with expected product failure rates, material usage and service costs in the development of our warranty obligations. Warranty reserves are based on historical experience of warranty claims and generally will be estimated as a percentage of sales over the warranty period. In the event the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, an adjustment to the warranty obligation would be recorded. Changes in our product warranty liability during the first nine months of 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
c. Contingencies and Legal Matters We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. We believe that the final disposition of such matters, other than the matters described below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Dreamliner Litigation In July 2013, an unoccupied Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines was damaged by a fire while parked at London Heathrow Airport. We participated in and provided technical assistance in support of an investigation of this incident conducted by U.K. and U.S. regulatory authorities as well as by the manufacturer of the aircraft, as we are one of many downstream suppliers to that manufacturer. A final report was issued by the Air Accidents Investigative Branch – UK Civil Aviation regulatory authority, with findings indicating that the fire was primarily caused by circumstances related to the plane’s emergency locator transmitter (“ELT”) manufactured and installed by another company. A component of the ELT is a battery pack which incorporates Ultralife’s industry-standard lithium manganese dioxide non-rechargeable D-cell. Ultralife has had this cell in production since 2001, with millions of units produced and this cell is widely-used for global defense and commercial applications. This battery product has gone through rigorous safety and qualification testing, including United Nations Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests and Criteria, and is authorized for use in aerospace applications under Technical Standard Order C142. On May 4, 2015, we were notified of a lawsuit in which we were named, along with other suppliers to the aircraft manufacturer, concerning that 2013 fire. The suit was filed by Ethiopian Airlines Enterprise in the Commercial Court, Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, London. The suit seeks as damages $42,000 plus other unspecified amounts, including those for loss of use and diminution in value of the aircraft. We maintain liability and products liability insurance through reputable providers, and in accordance with our corporate practices, immediately advised and referred this matter to our insurers. We are working with those insurers and their counsel to respond to and actively defend against this action, which is ongoing. At this time, we believe that there is not a reasonable possibility that this incident will result in a material financial exposure to the Company. Arista Power Litigation Since September 2011, we have been pursuing legal action against Arista Power, Inc. (“Arista”) and our former employee, David Modeen, for, among other things, alleged breach of certain agreements, duties and obligations, including misappropriation of our confidential information and trade secrets, tortious interference, and breach of contract. On January 12, 2016, Arista filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States, without accurately identifying our ongoing lawsuit against them. Although we have not withdrawn our lawsuit, nor has it been dismissed, the Company does not intend to submit a Proof of Claim in connection with Arista’s bankruptcy filing, or otherwise continue pursuing its claims against Arista. |

| Business Insurance Recoveries [Text Block] |
In June 2011, we experienced a fire that damaged certain inventory and machinery and equipment at our facility in China. The total amount of the loss pertaining to assets and the related expenses was approximately $1,589. We have pursued a claim against our insurance policy, with the majority of our insurance claim related to the recovery of damaged inventory. We had received payments in June 2012 and April 2013 totaling approximately $1,286 as a partial payment on our insurance claim, which resulted in no gain or loss being recognized. Since the filing of the claim and through June 26, 2016, we reflected a receivable from the insurance company of $177, net of our deductible of approximately $126, representing additional proceeds expected to be received. On September 6, 2016, our claim was finalized with the insurance company resulting in a $55 loss included in our third quarter 2016 results. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] |
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standards are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of this new guidance as well as the available transition methods. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of this new guidance. |
