NGK: Coin type LiB for in-vehicle use: Operates even at high temperatures of 125°C!
August 25, 2020
NGK:
Introducing the small coin-type lithium-ion secondary battery for vehicles, “Enaceracoin”.
Practical application of “Ultra-high heat resistance type that operates even at a high temperature of 125 degrees C” within 2020.
Ultra high heat resistance type:
We have already developed a high heat resistance type of 105°C.
It is a product that can be used in more harsh environments, and will start mass production in September.
For automobiles, there is a growing need for compact power supplies for autonomous driving, etc., and we will meet a wide range of needs by rapidly expanding the lineup.
“Enacera Coin”:
Ena Cera coin was originally developed.
Semi-solid battery using crystal-oriented ceramic electrode plate.
Small size and high heat resistance,
Suitable for mass production,
It can be mounted by reflow soldering.
As a power source for IoT (Internet of Things) devices such as sensors for autonomous driving
The demand is increasing.
By raising the heat-resistant temperature to 125 degrees Celsius, we believe that it will be able to cover almost all automotive components.
Development status:
In December 2019, NGK develops the Enacera coin with an operating temperature of 85°C.
Furthermore, the electrode material has been improved, and a type with an operating temperature of up to 105°C has just been commercialized.
For power trains:
However, for automobiles, higher heat resistance is required than in power trains.
Demand for electronic parts that are heat resistant to 125°C is expanding.
