Description
This compact, single-cell lithium-polymer (LiPo) rechargeable battery is designed for small electronic devices, wearables, IoT modules, and portable systems where space and weight are critical. With a nominal voltage of 3.7 V and a capacity in the 300 mAh class, it can support low-to-moderate power loads over extended periods when paired with efficient power management.
It is well-suited for devices such as small sensors, wireless modules, microcontroller-based gadgets, compact audio modules, small drones, or medical/healthcare wearables. Its thin, flat prismatic design makes it easy to integrate into tight enclosures. The cell typically supports up to ~500 charge/discharge cycles under optimal conditions. Some versions may include protection circuitry (PCM/PCB) for overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit safety.
The operating temperature range is suitable for most consumer and industrial electronics, though charging must be done within a narrower window to ensure safe use. As with all LiPo chemistries, proper charging (using a CC/CV algorithm, setting current limits, and establishing safe cutoff thresholds) and storage practices are crucial for maintaining long battery life and optimal performance.
