Lithium ion cell achieves superior energy density

Panasonic introduces a new high-rate lithium ion cell, the CGR18650CH. The cell’s Nickel Manganese-based cathode material delivers higher discharge rates and better energy density and voltage than comparative cells, according to company officials. CGR18650CH cells are suitable for multi-cell applications. Specific features include:

• High discharge rate capability— up to 10 Amps
• 2,250 mAH nominal capacity
• High energy density and voltage
• Wide operating temperature range
• Excellent cycle life
