IPS Launches Thinergy Micro-Energy Cell Product Family

Littleton, CO—Infinite Power Solutions (IPS), a maker of innovative solid-state unveils its THINERGY family of micro-energy cell (MEC) products and accompanying technical specifications.

THINERGY MECs are powerful batteries that are small, reliable and eco-friendly, and according to IPS, they will change how the power source for micro-electronic systems will be designed now and in the future.

IPS also reports when the MECs are recharged over their lifetime, provide tens of Watt-hours of energy, equivalent to or more than traditional primary cells that are hundreds of times larger in total volume.

Combined with ambient energy harvesting, THINERGY MECs deliver perpetual power to wireless sensor nodes and other micro-systems for more than a decade of maintenance free operation. As a result, these unique products represent a new class of electronic component that bridges the performance gap between batteries and supercapacitors.

IPS announces four standard products within its THINERGY MEC family. Two products are available now, the THINERGY MEC101 and THINERGY MEC120, with capacity options up to 1.0mAh and 0.4mAh, respectively.

The other two products (one larger and one smaller in both size and capacity) will be available later this year. Key features include:

  • Ultra-thin and flexible package fits and conforms where other solutions cannot.
  • High-power discharge eliminates need for external boost capacitors for high-pulse currents.
  • Stackable for increased energy and power without increasing footprint.
  • Can be deeply embedded and laminated within PCBs or other materials.
  • Lasts the lifetime of the system for zero maintenance or replacement cost.
  • Solderable tabs on metal foil package simplify mounting and electrical connections.
  • Superior charge acceptance, even at charge currents of a few hundred nanoAmps.
  • Supports more recharge cycles than any other rechargeable battery.
  • Rapid recharge in seconds to minutes, depending on the state of charge.All solid-state chemistry with no liquid or polymer (organic) electrolyte used.
  • Ultra-low leakage with less than 1% reversible charge loss per year.
  • Extremely broad operating temperature range beyond most other batteries.
  • Safe and RoHS-compliant; contains no heavy metal or toxic chemicals.
