Higher Power Cell Performance
Ilika plc (AIM: IKA), the advanced solid-state battery
technology and materials innovation company, announces significant
improvement in the power capability of its Stereax(â) M250
cells.
In 2016, Ilika launched the Stereax(â) M250, the first of its
family of solid-state batteries for powering autonomous wireless
sensors. The Stereax(â) M250 is a thin (0.7 mm) solid-state battery
with 250 uAh capacity and 5 mA peak current sufficient to power
wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth(R) Low
Energy.
Now, the rate capability, which is the ability to provide even
higher peak and continuous currents, has been improved through the
optimisation of the manufacturing process. An increased continuous
current of 20C (meaning the entire cell can be charged or
discharged in three minutes) has been recorded with good cycle
life. This is twice the previously qualified continuous current for
this battery and 10 times the maximum continuous current typically
specified for conventional lithium ion batteries. This means that
the improved Stereax(â) M250 can now provide higher power and
support greater functionality to autonomous sensors such as
providing power for longer range communications protocols like
LoRaWAN(TM) .
