World’s First Rechargeable Solid State Battery Chips Now Available in China

Cymbet Corporation announced that EnerChip rechargeable solid state batteries are commercially available throughout China. Cymbet EnerChip batteries are uniquely fabricated using standard semiconductor integrated circuit processes with patented construction techniques. They are available as bare die or in plastic packages and use the same surface mount technology (SMT) and reflow solder attachment as other Integrated Circuits found in electronic devices.

Cymbet Corporation announced that it is teaming with Opto-Sensor LTD (Fuchance Enterprises LTD) to represent and distribute Cymbet’s entire family of EnerChip Smart Solid State Batteries and power management solutions in China. Opto-Sensor has offices in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Shanghai and contact information is at www.opto-sensor.com.tw.

Cymbet EnerChip batteries have many unique capabilities as compared to the legacy coin cell batteries and supercapacitors currently used for power backup or energy harvesting storage. Cymbet EnerChip rechargeable solid-state smart batteries (SSB) are an innovation in energy storage and power management. Packaged as a Surface Mount Technology (SMT) component, the EnerChip provides energy storage in a form factor and with a convenience not previously attainable using conventional solutions such as lithium coin cells or super capacitors.

Cymbet’s EnerChip SSBs are well suited for applications where battery backup power is needed to maintain the settings of microcontroller memories, real-time-clocks and SRAM during power failures. EnerChip devices can provide back-up power ranging from a few hours to several weeks depending on the stand-by current requirements of the system. Rechargeable EnerChips are ideal storage device for energy harvesting-powered microelectronic systems.

Electronic product designers who need innovative rechargeable energy storage solutions utilize Cymbet EnerChip batteries that are life-of-product, thin, eco-friendly, non-cytotoxic, electrically superior, IC compatible and cost effective. Cymbet EnerChip solid state batteries are commercially available in either bare die form or as standard plastic IC packaged parts.

By 2020, Cisco, HP, IBM and many other organizations estimate there will be from 50 billion to 300 billion internet connected devices. Most of these Internet of Things devices will be extraordinarily small and in many cased unseen. There are many new microcontroller, wireless and sensor technologies that enable these small Internet of Things devices. With no cord for data or power, IoT and Wearable Tech devices must be self- powered. There are only two ways for these devices to be powered:
• Non-rechargeable traditional battery that needs to be changed when exhausted.
• Rechargeable battery using ambient energy harvesting that lasts the life of the product.

Cymbet EnerChips are the ideal rechargeable battery for energy harvesting-powered systems that are especially cost effective when the life cycle costs of changing batteries are taken into account.
