Lithium Ion Rechargeable Batteries

This page introduces just lithium-ion cells. However, Maxell offers these cells in battery pack format only, which include electronic circuits to prevent overcharge, overdischarge and so on. These battery packs are custom-developed and produced according to special requirements regarding operating conditions and specifications. As a result, a minimum number of units may apply to such customized orders from customers purchasing battery packs. For details, consult your nearest Maxell dealer or distributor.

dotHigher operating voltage of 3.7V and energy density
A lithium-ion battery delivers and maintains a stable operating voltage of over 3.7V until final discharge — three times as much voltage as a Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery provides. It takes just 1/3 the number of lithium-ion batteries to provide the equivalent amount of voltage from Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, so portable devices can be made much smaller and lighter.
dotHigher discharge rate for more powerful devices
Lithium-ion batteries are capable of outstanding rates of discharge sufficient to power a hard disk, a video camera’s motor and other devices.
dotStable discharge under various temperatures environmental conditions
Lithium-ion batteries provide stable discharge within a wide range of temperatures, from –20°C to 60°C
dotSuperior storage characteristics and convenience including minimal self-discharge
Lithium-ion batteries limit self-discharge to less than 5% of the original capacity per month when batteries are stored at 20°C.
dotExcellent cost performance
Superior recharging properties ensure a service life of about 500 charge/discharge cycles under normal usage conditions. The superior cost/performance ratio ensures that lithium-ion batteries are ultimately more economical than primary batteries.
