Novel lithium cell offers best of both
worlds
A new environmentally friendly lithium battery combines the high-power capabilities of spiral type batteries with the capacity and lifetime of bobbin type devices.
A new environmentally friendly lithium battery from Maxell Europe combines the high-power capabilities of spiral type batteries with the capacity and lifetime of bobbin type batteries to offer a flexible and innovative solution for the automotive, industrial and facilities management sectors The novel "spiral wound" construction and improved electrical-conductivity structures of the CR17450 power cell provide high-rate discharge capabilities (maximum pulse discharge current 1000mA), and its high temperature tolerance (operating range -40 to +85C) make it suitable for use in the most punishing environments

AEA Battery Systems has developed a new high-capacity lithium-ion secondary (rechargeable) cell.
The battery is laser-welded to ensure air-tightness, which provides high protection against moisture infiltration and a low self-discharge rate.
These features, combined with the fact that the battery's performance remains stable across its full operating temperature range, make this battery ideal for industrial use in security equipment and as the power source of electronic meters.
Other applications for which the batteries provide an ideal solution include long-term use in devices such as smoke alarms, home security devices, electronic toll collection systems, automatic meter readers (water, gas and electricity), locators and transponders.
Additionally, the CR17450 power cell provides highly-reliable, long-term backup power for memory needs.
The batteries are on the market throughout Europe for OEM use as a build-in part.
Toshi Yoshiba, European Technical Engineer, Industrial Batteries, said: "Power and long life are key factors in any kind of security or metering device".
"Through innovative use of R and D, these new Maxell batteries deliver both in abundance".
"The new construction is able to withstand extremes in temperatures whilst providing long life and consistent high performance for power and memory backup applications".
"We are extremely proud of the new addition to our range which strengthens our position as a leader in the battery market".
