The thermal charger features an array of 16 HV14 modules.



Nextreme Thermal Solutions (Durham, NC) and Infinite Power Solutions, Inc. (IPS) (Denver, CO) have announced the development of a thermal charger with the ability to continuously recharge the IPS THINERGY Micro-Energy Cell (MEC) using an eTEG thermoelectric power generator from Nextreme. Thin-film thermoelectric technology enables thermal charging where energy scavenging from thermal sources is combined with solid-state, rechargeable thin-film battery technology to provide an alternative energy source for a variety of autonomous, self-powered applications. Features include:

  • An array of 16 HV14 modules.
  • Only 0.5 mm high.
  • Output power levels of >16 mW at ΔT of 70°C and > 45 mW at ΔT of 120°C.
  • Modules measure just 1.8 x 1.5mm.
  • Output power densities of ~ 0.6 and 1.6 W/cm².
