Military / DOD

THINERGY MECs offer a compelling micro-battery backup pwer solution for Military/DOD applications due to their incredible power density, shock resistance, broad operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and greater than 10 year life. They can be stacked into battery modules that can deliver, for example, 1 Amp of continuous current at 25°C in a compact module only 26mm x 26mm x 3.5mm. MECs can replace expensive "Reserve" batteries since they are much smaller, provide instant-on power, and can be stored in bunkers for decades while still maintaining their charge. Applications include:

• Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

• Smart Weapons/Bullets

• Self-Destruct Fuzes

• Communication Devices

• Wireless Sensors

• Active RFID/RTLS Tags

• High Temperature Applications up to 200°C for Short Durations

THINERGY MECs are essentially a hybrid solution that leverages the energy density of batteries with the high discharge current of supercaps. Combined with less than 10nA of leakage current (<1% charge loss per year) and unprecedented cycle life, the military applications for this robust technology are immense.
