Chipcell Carbon, a series including button-type supercapacitors designed for backup of circuits with low consumption, e.g., RTC or static RAM, as well as EDLC for power applications such as uninterruptible power sources (UPS).
Chipcell Lithium, unlike regular lithium-ion batteries, is a highly safe battery with no risk of fire or explosion. It features fast charging (5 – 10 minutes) and a lifespan of up to 5,000 charge cycles. It is manufactured in D 5 x 30 to D 10 x 30 enclosures, with radial outlets for soldering onto a printed circuit board. Chipcell Lithium is of suitable size and properties to replace alkaline batteries (primary batteries) that need to be disposed of after a single use. Read more
