CLEVELAND–(EMWNews)–Blue Spark Technologies, the leading supplier of thin, flexible printed

battery solutions, now offers two additional battery designs that expand

potential markets and product development possibilities for the company’s

eco-friendly, carbon-zinc printed battery technology. The new battery

designs are variations on the company’s ST

(standard) Series of thin battery solutions and were developed in

response to customer needs for customized low voltage power sources to

power new and existing products.

According to Matt Ream, Blue Spark Technologies’

vice president of marketing, “The new products

are a natural progression of Blue Spark’s

printed electronics manufacturing and engineering capabilities. Design

engineers and system integrators frequently turn to us to customize our

standard ‘green’

printed batteries to meet their unique product design specifications.

This customization, combined with our rapid prototyping and expert

technical support, typically helps them realize lower production costs

and faster time-to-market.”

Blue Spark’s two new battery designs can be

integrated into the design, manufacturing and packaging of a vast array

of products – easily, affordably and with

reliable results. The new products include:

• Blue Spark UT (ultra-thin) Series. The industry’s

  thinnest printed battery currently in production, UT batteries are

  approximately 30 percent thinner and thus extremely flexible, even

  under high duty levels. The lower laminate profile (as thin as 500

  microns ~ 0.020 in) makes the UT Series well-suited to a wide variety

  of thin form factors, including transit tickets, loyalty cards, “smart

  cards” and RFID smart labels. Blue Spark

  has been working with a variety of printed display and electronic ink

  manufacturers to create some truly innovative new products and

  applications ranging from gaming to financial transactions.

Blue Spark UT batteries are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Typical standard form factors are 1.5V and can deliver approximately 12

mAh of energy. Overall voltage, storage capacity and thickness can be

adjusted according to individual customer’s

power requirements.

• Blue Spark HD (high-drain) Series. Designed to provide an extra

  boost of power in applications requiring higher peak current delivery,

  the HD Series offers about 5x greater peak drain current than Blue

  Spark’s ST (Standard) Series. They are

  well-suited for use in applications involving transmission of power to

  an LED, display, sensor, speaker or other electronic device. They are

  also ideal for power-hungry RFID applications, such as active or

  real-time location systems (RTLS). In addition, their customizable,

  symmetric design allows for non-rectilinear shapes, such as might be

  used in transdermal drug delivery patches, wound care, and such

  novelty items as greeting cards with miniature speakers. Typically,

  peak current delivery can be in the area of 6 mA and beyond, depending

  on individual application’s circuit

  requirements.

Blue Spark HD batteries are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

The new cells feature 1.5V battery chemistry and overall energy storage

capacity similar to the Blue Spark ST (Standard) Series. Blue Spark’s

engineering staff works closely with designers develop the right battery

for each application.

All Blue Spark carbon-zinc printed batteries offer a significantly

thinner profile than standard button or coin batteries. Plus they are “green”

and disposable, fully meeting the European Union’s

RoHS (Restrictions on Hazardous Substances) directive. For OEMs,

converters and IT system designers interested in integrating thin

batteries into their products and applications, Blue Spark Technologies

offers deep domain expertise, extensive technical support, rapid

prototyping and testing services.
