ML (Coin Type Lithium Manganese Dioxide Rechargeable Battery)

Features

Approx. 2.5 V operating voltage

The operating voltage is about twice that of nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. Displays a high discharge voltage of 2.8 V when at 10 % of nominal capacity (depth of discharge is 10 % or less), when charged at 3.0 to 3.3 V.

Superior charge/discharge characteristics

Achieves 1,000 cycles of discharging to 10 % of nominal capacity (Depth of discharge = 10 %). The total discharge capacity is quite high at 100 times nominal capacity. (shipped fully charged)

Wide -20 deg. C to 60 deg. C usable temperature range

Demonstrates stable operating voltage in temperatures as low as -20 deg. C and as high as 60 deg. C.

Low self-discharge and superior leakage resistance

Self-discharge at 20 deg. C is no more than 2 % per year. Supplies a nominal capacity of about 95 % even when stored at 20 deg. C for roughly five years (according to accelerated test conducted by Maxell). And since organic electrolyte is used, the battery has superior leakage resistance.

Excellent floating characteristics

A specially formulated organic electrolyte is employed to provide stable discharge characteristics even if charged for a year at 3.3 V at 20 deg. C (according to accelerated test conducted by Maxell).

Excellent high rate discharge characteristics

Maxell ML (lithium manganese dioxide rechargeable) batteries are available only for equipment manufacturers as a built-in part. Therefore, Maxell does not supply these batteries for replacement directly to users of equipment with these batteries. When built-in ML batteries need to be replaced, please contact your equipment manufacturer. If you are planning to use Maxell ML batteries in your equipment as a built-in part, please contact Maxell.
