What do applications for IoT devices, all have in common? In order to be secure, reliable, cost efficient and to achieve optimum performance, they all require ways of wireless communication functions and control capability. For such applications, a new kind of power source becomes essential.
EnerCera battery series─unlocking infinite possibilities
*A solid, multi-layered structure incorporating a crystal-oriented cathode active material sintered which infused with a small amount of liquid electrolyte
EnerCera battery can withstand the reflow soldering and other high-temperature processes. EnerCera Coin, a semi-solid-state battery, has a capacity reduction of 20% or less even after stored at 105℃ for 1000 hrs in the fully-charged state that is most susceptible to deterioration.
Despite its ultra-compact and thin profile, EnerCera battery has 50 to 100% higher capacity than the conventional rechargeable batteries, allowing to reduce the battery charging cycle by two-thirds, or even half.
EnerCera battery with its internal resistance to be half of that of conventional rechargeable batteries of comparable size, making them suitable power source for wireless communication applications, such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), LPWA (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) and cellular application, with power consumption to be in the order of tens to hundreds of milliamps.
Since its founding in 1919, NGK Insulators has drawn on its expertise in insulator manufacture─a field in which reliability is paramount─to expand into a range of other industrial fields, both domestically and internationally. Starting out as a pioneer in technologies aimed at ensuring the consistent supply of the essential service that is electricity, NGK went onto develop automobile exhaust gas cleaning technologies that contributed to the progress of motorization while conserving the natural environment. Now, in the internet-of-things age, NGK continues to support an increasingly “smart” world.
