Apr. 08, 2022  Update  Data sheet for high-capacity cylindrical type CR battery “CR17500AU” added

Feb. 17, 2021 News   Maxell develops cylindrical type lithium manganese dioxide battery “CR17500AU” with industry’s highest capacity suitable for IoT devices

Features

High energy density

High energy density has been achieved by optimizing the filling rate of the material by means of a unique electrode structure.


Long-term reliability lasting more than 10 years*

The employment of a heat-resistant gasket and a laser-seal structure prevents water intrusion and electrolyte evaporation, ensuring long-term reliability that lasts more than 10 years*. The self-discharge rate is about 0.5% per year.

  • Designed lifetime at 20 deg. C when not yet used. Actual lifetime will vary depending on conditions such as discharge current and temperature.

Stable discharge characteristics

The original negative electrode material maintains low internal resistance even at high depths of discharge and ensures stable discharge.


Superior low-temperature characteristics


High safety due to internal short-circuit prevention structure


Supports various package design configurations

Package design proposals are available according to the customer’s needs. We have designed a wide range of packages for 1 to 35 batteries.

35 parallel batteries for outdoor usage

Construction

Principle and Reactions

The cylindrical type lithium manganese dioxide battery uses manganese dioxide (MnO2) as its positive active material and lithium (Li) as its negative active material.

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