What are the unique challenges facing long-range 2025 button cell battery technology?

　　Correct selection of long-life batteries, even at very low discharge states, is far more important than analysis of basic current-and-time 2025 button cell battery capacity.

　　The growing interest in long-lived embedded applications is like the endless engineering problem posed by remote data logging or electricity meters: How do we drive or charge these devices? These devices, which often operate in harsh environments, need to operate for 10, 20 or more years on a small 2025 button cell battery and with little attention.

　　For devices that are only required to last for a few years and have a short life cycle, the 2025 button cell battery decision analysis starts with the basic analysis of current consumption, such as the various duty cycles of the battery, and the comparison of operating modes and 2025 button cell battery capacity (mA/hour) , this can lead to quite complex applications and operation cycles, but it is not too difficult, at least you can set an upper limit in the worst case. However, when equipment needs to operate for 10 years or more, basic electronic analysis of load current and power capacity are only minor factors, and factors such as self-discharge, chemical deterioration, and case corrosion become major issues.

　　The reason why I was curious about 2025 button cell battery life was when I read the article "Designing and Fabricating a Multiple-Decade Battery" in Aerospace & Defense Technology. This article details the use of radioactive decay based on The Thermoelectric Generator (TEG), which can theoretically run for 150 years, uses a two-step process that I have never seen before. One is to decay to generate light; the next is to use solar cells to generate electricity. Author The article implies that this method is less efficient. Unfortunately, the exact conversion efficiency number is not listed in the article, but I suspect it is in the range of less than 5%.

　　What this seemingly simple symbol refers to is the complex world of electrochemical and even radioactive effects.

　　Thermoelectric generators charging through radioactive decay have been successfully used for more than 10 years, especially in spacecraft with minimal solar radiation. These thermoelectric generators are based on a single-stage conversion process of radioactive decay of heat energy, rather than a two-step process (Two-step Process) of photons, with a Seebeck-junction thermocouple to generate electricity from the decay heat.

　　This method provided power for Voyager 1 and 2, released in 1977. The two spacecraft are still traveling in space and continue to transmit data back to Earth, even after they have crossed the fuzzy boundaries of the solar system and entered another outer space (Exospace). ). (Editor’s note: The source of the spacecraft mentioned by the author of this article is the book Voyager: seeking new worlds in the third great age of discovery written by Stephen J. Pyne~) There is also some work on using thermocouples to capture waste heat from engines, but how can these studies be turned into practice? (cost, reliability, size and efficiency) are still unclear.

　　certainly! Theoretically you could make a decay-based 2025 button cell battery by using more core material depending on how long it's needed, but the question is how long the device needs to rest, and how long the electrons will last before they deteriorate or fall apart. How it will continue to function in the application has nothing to do with the radioactive decay mechanism itself. But if batteries don't meet the needs of the past 100-plus years, there won't be anyone around today to blame those efforts.

　　I also read two other articles about long-range batteries. One of them, Choosing the Right Batteries for High-Tech Batteries, is from NASA TechBriefs and looks at various chemistries. The properties of this article, especially the many interesting variants of the lithium 2025 button cell battery family, are, in one sentence: complex. When you are using a 2025 button cell battery for 10 years or more, even at very, very low currents or low rate pulse cycles, many factors need to be analyzed, such as self-discharge and temperature ratings. In addition, mA-Hr capacity becomes one of the many parameters to consider. one.

　　Although the author of the above article is from a well-known 2025 button cell battery manufacturer (Tadiran), and his views may be somewhat biased, I would rather listen to the research records of some people who have actually developed products in this field, as well as the subtle manufacturing and production of the products. question, not just an academic expert. (Editor’s note: To put it bluntly, the author means that he doesn’t really trust the arguments of armchair experts…) The same 2025 button cell battery supplier also has a small article “Power Your Wireless Sensors for 40 Years”. This article This short article partially overlaps with the previously mentioned article, but also adds some new information.

　　Will you be involved in deciding on long-range 2025 button cell battery options? How do you evaluate the basic power capacity required by a 2025 button cell battery during complex operating cycles? How do you decide what form and chemistry will be feasible for a long-range battery?
