Batteries with BIG uses
Cell Pack Solutions are working with VARTA Microbattery who is making
increasing use of the lithium polymer system and have now launched a
new generation of rechargeable batteries - the VARTA PoLiFlex.
These slimline and ultra-light batteries can be shaped to suit any device.
The batteries don't exhibit memory effect, have extremely low self-discharge,
and offer long service life, making them ideal for use in state-of-the-art
electronics applications such as in palmtops or organisers, for satellite-assisted
navigation systems (GPS), and particularly for the new multi-media phones.
Other applications are in the industrial sector - mobile data capture
and ticket sales systems, communications and electronic payment systems
all need batteries to function. Polymer batteries can power small solar
devices and are also ideal for use in the medical sector. And they can
also serve as vital back-up systems for computers.
They contain no heavy metals and no free, liquid electrolytes - making
them ecologically friendly to manufacture. VARTA is striving to achieve
a production process that generates no waste air or water whatsoever.
The VARTA PoLiFlex® is currently available in two sizes. The 750
mAh model is 3.8 mm high, 35 mm wide and 62 mm long, while the 900 mAh
model measures 4.2 x 35 x 66 mm - and includes the electronic safety
module. As a result, the space savings offered can be enormous.
Cell
Pack Solutions are specialists in the design and manufacture of short
to medium production runs of custom engineered batteries and cell packs.
They consider this new range from VARTA as being an important advancement
in the design of product power supplies where space is at a premium
requirements.
