Panasonic Corporation announced that it has developed a flexible lithium-ion battery with a thickness of only 0.55mm, or about 0.022 inches. Suitable for use in card-type and wearable devices, this rechargeable battery can retain its characteristics even after repeatedly bent into a radius of 25mm or twisted to an angle of 25 degrees.
Card devices, which are often carried in wallets or pockets, require internal components that can withstand bending and twisting. Slim lithium-ion batteries are used in such devices, but these batteries can degrade when they are bent or twisted, resulting in shorter operating time for the devices.
Panasonic’s new flexible battery can withstand bending and twisting beyond the Japanese Industrial Standards for identification cards. When used in card devices such as smart cards and card keys that work on batteries, as well as body worn devices and smart clothing, this battery can retain its characteristics even if the device is frequently bent or twisted.
This new flexible battery were on display at CEATEC JAPAN 2016 from Oct. 4-7 at Makuhari Messe.
The battery can maintain its characteristic even with repeated bending and twisting. The battery contributes to longer life of devices as it retains charging and discharging characteristics even with repeated bending and twisting. This battery can contribute to longer operating time of card devices, wearables and other devices by reducing the battery deterioration due to bending and twisting as well as the charge and discharge cycle.
