ITEN, a pioneer in the development and production of solid-state batteries for electronics markets, has announced the production launch of its new Powency family of rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The new family consists of high-power density batteries, including for now the PWY0150S battery, available in pre-production, and the PWY0250S battery, available as engineering samples. Those first Powency batteries respectively have a capacity of 150µAh and 250µAh. The Powency product family, which is manufactured at the ITEN facility in France, is a testament to the demonstration of ITEN’s technological and industrial leadership in the field of solid-state batteries.
The Powency PWS0150S and PWS0250S batteries are designed to deliver energy peaks to connected devices or to power electronic systems during a power outage. Both products feature a high-power density in an ultra-compact design, measuring 25mm³ and weighing 73 milligrams; they can supply the current levels required by connected devices operating with LAN wireless protocols. The Powency PWS0150S and PWS0250S are available as SMD devices, enabling an easy integration with automated production lines. Powency PWS0150S and PWS0250S are based on ITENS’ all-solid-state battery technologies, contain no heavy metals, toxic chemicals or organic solvents, and can be recycled as passive electronic components.
Powering low-power, small-form-factor devices is a major obstacle in the emergence and broad implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT). The Powency products will enable IoT device makers to build high-performance Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), 802.15.4, or NFC systems in an unrivaled form factor. They facilitate the widespread use of maintenance-free devices that harvest energy from external sources such as indoor or outdoor ambient light, ambient radio waves, and / or kinetic motion. PWY0150S is currently being manufactured in pre-series for numerous early-stage customers and serves as the ideal energy reservoir in autonomous sensors that are powered by Energy Harvesting.
