3V Lithium Batteries
General Technical Information on Lithium Batteries
Lithium is one of the lightest alkaline metal elements and its standard 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 manufactured 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 that of alkaline button cells
•
Wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +85°C
•
Low self discharge of less than 1 % per year at 23°C
•
Best practical volume/capacity ratio
•
Superior leakage resistance
•
Excellent storage characteristics, up to 10 years storage with minimum deterioration
•
UL-recognized products
•
Safe product, does not contain toxic substances
•
No air transport restrictions (non hazardous)
•
Available in a wide range of solder contact configurations or in combination with our battery holders
* CR1216 MFR / CR1220 MFR / CR2016 MFR / CR2025 MFR / CR2032 MFR / CR2430 MFR = -30°C / +70°C
In Application where the battery is exposed to temperatures above 60°C, please contact Renata for consultancy.
