Connection Terminal Specifications

Sanyo meets various user requirements by developing an extended line of batteries with different terminal designs (tabs, connectors and other terminals) as well as
various battery holders. Regarding standard specifications and key circuit design points, see the separately provided "Connection Terminal Specifications for Lithium
Batteries and Key Circuit Design Points."
International Transportation
Regulations for international transportation of lithium batteries may be largely classified into four categories.
1. Air Transport
Based on DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulations) of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), IATA (International Air Transport Association) has determined
transport regulations. The regulation states that lithium batteries are considered not dangerous if they meet the following requiremints:
Each bare cell with a solid cathode must contain 1.0g (Assembled battery using more than 2 cells must contain 2.0g) or less of lithium or lithium alloy. (Sanyos
lithium batteries are all solid cathodes.)
They may be transported in rigid packaging with short-circuit protection.
2. Marine Transport
IMO (International Marine Organization) has determined transport regulations based on IMDG (International Marine Dangerous Goods). The judgement standard of
dangerous goods is based on DGR of ICAO. When the batteries are not regarded as dangerous goods, they should be transported in rigid packaging with short
circuit protection, according to IATA standards.
3. DOT (Department of Transportation)

Regulations for packaging and transportation of lithium batteries in the U.S.A. are determined by Code 49 CFR173. 185 of Federal Register.
The judgement standard of dangerous goods corresponds to DGR of ICAO. When the batteries are not regarded as dangerous, any transportation method is
acceptable if they are transported in rigid packaging with short circuit protection.
The following Sanyo lithium batteries contain less than 1.0g of lithium or lithium alloy (under 2.0g for assembled batteries) per single cell.

Disposal
The awareness of the need to protect the earth's environment has increased on a global basis. As a result, regulations covering the disposal and recycling of mercury
cells and Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries have been implemented in the U.S.A., Europe and Japan. Since the relevant regulations vary by country and even by state,
specific details should be obtained from your region's authorities.

Manganese Dioxide Primary Lithium Batteries (CR series)

Primary Lithium Batteries
Sanyo manganese dioxide primary lithium batteries, developed in 1976, feature high energy density.
Because they offer many unique features not found in either convetional dry cells or silver oxide
batteries, Sanyo lithium batteries are currently used in a wide range of equipment such as electronic
calculators, watches and cameras. In addition, they are used as a memory backup power source in
microcomputer-controlled devices. By offering a wide range of lithium batteries, from coin cells to
high-power cylindrical type cells (spiral structure) and high-capacity cylindrical type cells (bobbin
structure), Sanyo has been able to meet the demands of a large and diversified market.
Sanyo is acquiring International Regulation ISO9001 approval which is a quality guarantee. Sanyo
continues to implement thorough quality control.
Principles and Structure of Primary Lithium Batteries

Applying an original manufacturing process, Sanyo uses a manganese dioxide compound as the active material for the positive electrode
(cathode). Lithium is used for the negative electrode (anode) to produce a cell with high voltage and high energy density. In addition, an
organic electrolyte is employed to which lithium salts are added.
The discharge reaction of lithium batteries is as follows:
Anode reaction: LiLie
Cathode reaction: MnO2LieMnO2 (Li)
Overall battery reaction: MnO2LiMnO2 (Li)
The cell voltage is approximately 3V.
Battery Structure
High-power cylindrical type lithium batteries are capable of
producing a very high discharge current due to their spiral electrode
structure. High-capacity cylindrical type lithium batteries have a
bobbin structure which contains active material and can provide a
high capacity.
In addition, the laser sealing technology ensures long-term
reliability and a battery life of up to 10 years at room temperature.

Manganese Rechargeable Lithium Batteries (ML series)

Sanyo manganese rechargeable lithium batteries are high-capacity rechargeable coin-type batteries.
These batteries have a high voltage of 3V compared to Ni-Cd button cells (1.2V). With a low selfdischarge rate and superior charge/discharge cycle characteristics, they have an expected life of as
much as 5 years at room temperature. They are suitable for use as memory backup power sources
and can also be used in combination with solar cells.
Principles and Structure of Coin Type Manganese Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Manganese Oxide, with proven performance, is used as the active material for the positive electrode through Sanyo's developed treatment.
The active material in the negative electrode, lithium aluminum alloy, offers stable cyclic performance with a high discharge voltage.
The electrolyte is made by dissolving lithium salts in a mixed organic solvent.
The charge/discharge reaction of the batteries is as follows:
Anode reaction: (LiA )

A Li e
Cathode reaction: MnO2Lie

O2 (Li)
Mn
Overall battery reaction: MnO2(LiA )

Mn O2 (Li )A
The cell voltage is approximately 3V.

Applications

Memory backup power sources for computer, MD, PDA and

portable cellular phones.
Power source for portable equipment.
Hybrid power source when combined with solar cells.
Memory backup power source for electronic equipment.
Features of Coin Type Manganese Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

The ML2430, for example, offers one year back up under
continuous discharge of 10A at 23 when the battery is fully
charged or when the battery capacity is the same as the
shipment.
Stable Operating Voltage of 2.5V

Sanyo rechargeable lithium batteries offer a high discharge
voltage of 2.5V, more than twice that of Ni-Cd button cells. So a
single lithium battery can be used to replace two conventional
batteries. They also offer a stable voltage over a long period,
unlike the straight-line voltage drop of capacitors.
