Lithium Manganese Dioxide Batteries

Lithium primary batteries, such as Lithium Manganese Dioxide, offer high energy density, extremely long shelf life (two to three times that of Alkaline), a wide operating temperature range, and excellent durability. With cell voltages of 3.0 to 3.6 volts, they provide much higher energy density than Alkaline. Lithium primaries also come in a variety of sizes. As with their rechargeable counterparts, they are subject to shipping regulations.

Lithium primary batteries are available in many chemistries, each with their own particular attributes. Specifically, Lithium Manganese Dioxide (LiMnO2) cells offer high energy density, reliability and excellent shelf life. Less volatile and less costly than Lithium Sulfur Dioxide, LiMnO2 batteries offer a good balance of performance and safety. Their uses include digital cameras, keyless entry systems, watches and memory back up.
