Introduction to Lithium Manganese Batteries
Small lithium batteries are commonly used in portable electronic devices such as handheld computers, watches, cameras, digital cameras, thermometers, calculators, laptop BIOS, communication devices, and remote door locks. They come in many shapes and sizes, with common varieties such as 3-volt ones; Coin” Manganese varieties typically have a diameter of 20 millimeters and a thickness of 1.6-4 millimeters. The heavy power demand of many of these devices is a particularly attractive option for lithium-ion batteries. Lithium batteries, especially those that can easily support short-term, heavy devices such as digital cameras, are currently in demand and maintain a higher voltage for a longer period of time than alkaline batteries.
