Molex’s thin-film battery is a low-profile, flexible, disposable battery with a small footprint designed for low-power, single-use applications. This battery can be applied to a curved surface with a bend radius of 25 mm or greater. Its chemical breakdown of zinc, manganese dioxide, and zinc chloride means it has no heavy metals, so it offers an economical, environmentally safe alternative to lithium. The vertically stacked construction provides reduced distance between anode and cathode and gives reduced internal resistance, increased peak current, increased usable capacity, and reduced footprint compared to single-layer construction. Available in 1.5 V and 3.0 V configurations, these batteries deliver power suitable for low-power disposable applications. Thin-film batteries can attach to wearable and medical biosensors and conform to a patient's body for maximum comfort. The batteries feature an operating temperature range of -35°C to +50°C. They are compliant with the European battery directive 2006/66/EC. Limited exposure to elevated temperatures is recommended due to reduced performance at temperatures below 0°C.
