Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America announced that Panasonic has developed the CR-AGZ Source: Panasonic cell that offers two important features in conjunction with each other: superior long-term reliability and high capacity.

The high safety and high capacity CR-AGZ cell utilizes manganese-based cathode material to deliver better temperature tolerance so that it may operate in harsh environments. Some sample applications include gas and water meters, fire alarms, security sensors and automatic meter reading.

Specific features of the CR-AGZ include:

• 10% higher capacities compared to conventional CR A size batteries
• Superior long-term reliability (more than 15 years)
• Safe and environmentally friendly
• PTC device built in; wide operating temperature from -40° C to 70° C
• No toxic materials are included
