High Rate Lithium Ion Cell
Portable Design News, Monday August 25, 2008
Panasonic has has introduced a new high-rate lithium ion cell, the CGR26650A. The cell’s Nickel Manganese-based cathode material delivers higher discharge rates and better temperature stability than comparative cells, while Panasonic’s exclusive heat resistance layer (HRL) technology provides safer operation. CGR26650A cells are suitable for multi-cell applications.
Specific features include:
- High discharge rate capability— up to 40 Amps
2650 mAH typical capacity - High recharge rate capacity— most capacity recovered within 20 minutes
- Wide operating temperature range
- Excellent cycle life
- High recharge rate capacity— most capacity recovered within 20 minutes
The new cells are designed for applications from power tools to medical equipment, memory storage and back up power to full scale UPS systems.
