Providing design engineers with a compact, lightweight and
reliable power source for portable medical, industrial and consumer electronic
devices, the Renata Batteries division of the Swatch Group (Switzerland) has
introduced a comprehensive series of 3.7V lithium ion polymer rechargeable
batteries that combine a high energy density with a low-profile, flexible,
prismatic package. Designated the ICP Series, the batteries feature proven gel
electrolyte technology, while optionally incorporating an internal safety
circuit that provides fail-safe protection against over-charging or deep
discharge.
"These new rechargeable lithium polymer batteries are
up to 20 percent lighter than conventional cylindrical cell batteries, and the
flexible packaging enables design engineers to utilize thinner batteries for
many OEM applications," said Sharon Rossi, OEM Sales Director at Renata
Batteries North America. "By adding rechargeable lithium polymer cells to
our battery portfolio, we have significantly expanded the range of applications
we can support for our customers' designs." Rossi indicated that several
design projects for the new lithium polymer rechargeable battery cells are
already well underway.
The ICP Series lithium polymer batteries are available in
approximately 25 UL listed standard cell sizes. They feature a nominal voltage
of 3.7V (voltage range: 4.2V – 3.0V), and are available with a built-in safety
circuit and either AWG 30 wire, tab or connector contacts. Custom sizes are
also available.
Lead times are from 8 - 12 weeks. For samples, pricing and
