Technical article: Realizing IoT society with CR cylindrical batteries

Battery solutions suitable for LPWA communication devices

Key components in IoT society
The IoT (Internet of Things), which has so far been the subject of endeavors in many fields, seems to be endlessly expanding with the continuing expansion of communication technologies. IoT devices have a very strong connection to battery technology, and Maxell has been working on technological development with a view to applications for smart meters, communication equipment terminals, etc.

In this article, we will introduce a cylindrical type lithium manganese dioxide battery (hereafter referred to as a CR cylindrical battery) suitable for use as a power source for communication devices and repeaters that are required for such communication network configurations.
