Lithium Cells Handle High Temperatures

Suiting meter monitoring, RFID, emergency/safety devices, and electronic toll collection systems, a 1/2AA-sized poly carbon-monofluoride lithium battery expands the BR 1/2AA series of lithium primary cylindrical cells. The battery withstands extreme operating temperatures from -40°C to +100°C. Other features include a capacity of 1,000 mAH, self-discharge of 0.5% per year at 20°C/60%RH, no passivation layer, and a constant discharge voltage. Additionally, the BR 1/2AA lithium cells are available in 2- and 3-pin models. For more information, call PANASONIC ELECTRIC WORKS CORP. OF AMERICA, Providence, NJ. (908) 464-3550.
