Embedded World: UK firm unveils credit card sized batteries

Accutronics will be demonstrating the CC2300 and CC3800 batteries at Embedded World, Nuremberg. According to the Midlands based firm, the products feature 3.7V Lithium ion cell technology coupled with an impedance tracking fuel gauge, an active protection system and a compact connector. "The demand for this kind of product might seem surprising, given the abundant availability of Lithium ion batteries in consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptop computers," said Neil Oliver, technical marketing manager at Accutronics. "However, consumer market batteries do not satisfy the requirements of OEMs in the quality driven professional electronic device sector, so we've created these new credit card batteries to satisfy OEM demand." Oliver believes the CC2300 and CC3800 fill a gap in the compact battery market for a fully supported, OEM orientated solution. "Device design engineers need technical guidance and feedback when they specify battery products and Accutronics is one of the few companies providing that support as standard." The credit card batteries are part of the company's 'Intellion' range. Accutronics will be demonstrating the batteries on Stand 2-502 in Hall 2 at Embedded World.
