Overview

The coin type lithium manganese dioxide battery (CR battery) is a small, lightweight battery with an operating voltage of 3 V and the ability to operate over a wide temperature range. It has a wide range of applications for powering devices such as various IoT sensors, medical equipment, data loggers and wearable devices.

Features

Stable operating voltage under long-term low load discharge for Memory and RTC backup

High 3 volt energy density

High energy density. At 3 volts (nominal voltage), it has about twice the voltage of alkaline button batteries and silver oxide batteries.

Stable discharge characteristics through low internal resistance and high operating voltage

Employs highly conductive electrolyte, lowering internal resistance and providing stable operating voltage. This allows stable power to be obtained, with little change in operating voltage at high and low temperatures.

Superior leakage resistance and excellent storage characteristics

Employs a leak-resistant organic electrolyte, giving it better leakage resistance than battery types using alkaline electrolytes.

Furthermore, the high degree of seal of the seal structure and application of sealant keep self-discharge to about 1% per year.

Superior high rate discarge characteristics

Construction

Principle and Reactions

The coin type lithium manganese dioxide battery uses manganese dioxide (MnO2) as its positive active material, lithium (Li) as its negative active material, and an organic electrolyte.

Battery Reactions
Positive reaction : MnO2+Li++e- → MnOOLi
Negative reaction : Li → Li++e-
Total reaction : MnO2+Li → MnOOLi
