Rechargeable pin-type and flexible lithium ion batteries a form fit for wearables

Panasonic Corporation will showcase its rechargeable Pin-type Lithium-ion battery (CG-320A, CG-425 and CG-435) as well as its Flexible Lithium-ion battery (CG-062939, CG-063555, and CG-064065) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) January 5-8th, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Panasonic Corporation will exhibit these two products in Panasonic booth #12908 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the show. 

The Pin-type Lithium-ion battery CG-320A has a nominal capacity of 15.0mAh with a diameter of 3.65mm and a weight of 0.6g. This battery is suitable for powering small applications such as wearable devices. This product, in addition to being a small cylindrical shaped rechargeable lithium-ion battery, features high reliability and high output.

Specific applications include wearable devices, active stylus pens, measuring devices, near field communications, and specialty eyewear. Features include small pin-shaped, cylindrical shaped Lithium-ion battery at 3.65mm diameter. It also features a metallic can which prevents battery swelling and also provides dimensional stability.

The CG-320A, CG-425 (30mAh) and CG-435 (50mAh) are currently still in development phase. 

The Flexible Lithium-ion battery is extremely thin. This 3.8 volt battery comes in three sizes: 17.5 mAh, 40 mAh, and 60 mAh. This rechargeable battery maintains its characteristics even when bent and twisted repeatedly. Specific applications include body attached devices, smart clothing, and smart cards. Because of its safety features, this battery is suitable for wearing on the body. Additional features include longer life for devices, and maintaining original characteristics with repeated bending and twisting.

The Flexible Lithium-ion battery is currently still in development phase.

The full-scale introduction of wearable device products, anticipated widely as the next wave in mobile devices after smartphones, is expected to affect a wide variety of applications. Rechargeable batteries will be small and light as well as feature a high level of reliability and performance.
