Panasonic, one of the world’s leading battery manufacturing companies, has unveiled two high safety and energy density cells, the CR-AG and CR-2/3AZ. The cells utilize Manganese-based cathode material to deliver better temperature tolerance so they may operate in harsh environments. Both are ideal for fire alarms, security sensors, and AMR (Automatic Meter Reading).

For the CR-AG & CR-2/3AZ, specific features include high current pulse discharge capability; superior long term reliability; high safety and energy density; and wide operating temperature range (-40C to 70C).

"These Cylindrical cells offer the widest range of temperature compared to other battery chemistries,” says Jiro Okamoto, Chief Engineer for OEM and Industrial Batteries. “Their production is a testimony to our ongoing dedication to supplying our customers the highest quality and broadest line of battery technologies.”
