Technical Article : Safety Design Guide for Series Connection of Button Batteries in Electronic Devices
Ensuring Safety While Maximizing Performance
While the use of multiple button batteries in series is generally not recommended, proper safety design can help maximize battery performance. If you are considering this approach, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of our technical support.
1. Introduction
In compact electronic devices, certain applications -- such as LED lighting or motor drives -- require higher voltages or power outputs. To meet these demands, some designs use two or three button batteries, such as SR or LR types, connected in series. However, a series connection of button batteries involves specific risks, and improper design can lead to serious incidents such as leakage or rupture.
This article outlines essential design considerations for safe series use and highlights the benefits of our technical support.
