Maxell Within the Future

CR Batteries

Heat Resistant Coin Type Lithium Manganese Dioxide Battery

Maxell’s original sealing technology and highly heat-resistant material expands operating temperature range remarkably, making the batteries supremely suitable for automobile applications — for powering TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors, for example.

The range of technologies where these batteries can be applied is expanding to include IoT sensors and HACCP temperature loggers that require a wide operating temperature range.

About Maxell Heat Resistant CR batteries

Maxell Heat Resistant CR (lithium manganese dioxide) batteries are available only for equipment manufacturers as a built-in part. Therefore, Maxell does not supply these batteries for replacement directly to users of equipment. When built-in Heat Resistant CR batteries need to be replaced, please contact your equipment manufacturer. If you are planning to use Maxell Heat Resitant CR batteries in your equipment as a built-in part, please contact Maxell.

Construction

Principle and Reactions

The coin type lithium manganese dioxide battery uses manganese dioxide (MnO2) as its positive active material, lithium (Li) as its negative active material and an organic electrolyte.

Battery Reactions
Positive reaction : MnO 2 +Li + +e - → MnOOLi
Negative reaction : Li → Li + +e -
Total reaction : MnO 2 +Li → MnOOLi

Storage Characteristics under High Temperatures

Little deterioration in capacity due to high storage temperature of 80 deg. C, compared to CR2450 battery.

Storage Characteristics under High Temperature/Humidity

Little deterioration in internal resistance due to high humidity (60 deg. C/90%RH), compared to CR2450 battery.

Safety precautions

If misused, this battery may deform, leak (the liquid inside the battery may leak to the outside), generate heat, explode, or ignite.
Since such misuse may cause injury or equipment failure, please be sure to read and observe [Warnings and Cautions].

Glossary of Battery Terms

Direct contact electrically between the positive electrode and negative electrode caused by damage to the separator or gasket, or the presence of a conductor piercing the separators. A battery will become completely exhausted before use.

Surges of current across the terminals of a battery when it is short-circuited.

Enduring characteristics against leakage.

Ratio of usable capacity against theoretical capacity.

Medium in a battery which causes ions to move to create an electrochemical reaction. Either water or non-aqueous solution is used as solvent. The latter is called non-aqueous electrolyte solution, either organic or inorganic.

Electrode materials in a battery which cause an electrochemical reaction to generate electricity.

Ex)

Battery Type / Positive material / Negative material

LR / Manganese Dioxide / Zinc

CR / Manganese Dioxide / Lithium

Expiration of guarantee period of a primary battery determined by each manufacturer conforming to the IEC. Because a secondary battery can be used over again by charging, it is unnecessary to show this.

Note: IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization of standardization comprised of all national electrotechnical committees.

A finished or semi-finished battery is store under specified conditions for a specified period.

Test conducted within 2 weeks after storage.

Store the battery under specified conditions.

Test conducted within 2 months of the production month.

Usable energy of a battery per unit volume or unit weight. The former is called volumetric energy density (Wh/l); the latter gravimetric energy density (Wh/kg).

Capacity (Ah, mAh) is the product of the discharge current (A, mA) and discharge time (h). Note: Because manganese dry batteries and alkaline manganese batteries are often used for heavy-duty applications, the discharge time at a specific load is usually mentioned instead of the capacity.

Time until a battery voltage exceeds the end-point voltage during discharge.

Voltage deviation from equilibrium caused by charge or discharge.

Operation during which a reverse reaction of discharge occurs when electrical energy is received from an external source.

Change of a battery voltage with discharge.

Decreasing capacity during storage without load, caused by chemical reaction in a battery. The higher the temperature during storage, the greater the rate of self discharge.

Continue to discharge after a battery voltage drops below its end-point voltage.

Operation during which a battery delivers current to an external circuit.

Resistant component in a battery that makes discharge reaction slow.

Specified closed circuit voltage at which a service output test is terminated.

External device or method through which a battery is discharged.

Suitable approximate value of voltage used to identify the voltage of a battery.

For example)
Alkaline manganese battery; 1.5V
Lithium manganese dioxide battery; 3.0V

Voltage across the terminals of a battery when it is on discharge. As a battery has an internal resistance, CCV is lower than OCV and CCV becomes lower with a range of current.

Voltage across the terminals of a battery when no external current is flowing.

Source of electrical energy obtained by the direct conversion of chemical energy designed to be charged by any other electrical source. It is also called a storage battery or accumulator.

Source of electrical energy obtained by the direct conversion of chemical energy and not designed to be charged by any other electrical source.
