General Technical Information on Lithium Batteries
Lithium is one of the lightest alkaline metal elements and standard its potential and electrochemical
equivalence are the highest of all metals 3,045V). (-
When speaking about Lithium, this only refers to the anode material (negative pole). The electrolyte and
cathode may consist of a wide variety of materials providing very different cell characteristics.
The Lithium/manganese dioxide chemistry provided by RENATA is the safest and most reliable
Lithium battery system.
Contrary to other constructions they are:
•
non polluting
•
admitted as user replaceable- by Underwriter Laboratories (3V)
•
short circuit proof
... and offer the following advantages:
•
Ideal voltage level of 3V, approximately twice the voltage level from of alkaline button cells
•
* Wide operating temperature range from - 40°C to +85°C
•
Low self discharge of less than 1 % to 1.5% (depending on type) per year at 23°C
•
Best practical volume/capacity ratio
•
Superior leakage resistance
•
Excellent storage characteristics, up to 10 years storage with minimum deterioration possible
•
UL- recognized products
•
Safe product, does not contain toxic substances
•
Available in a wide range of solder contact configurations or in combination with our battery holders
* CR2016.MFR / CR2025.MFR /CR2032.MFR = - 30°C to +70°C
In Application where the battery is exposed to temperatures above 60°C, please contact Renata for consultancy.
