Murata Battery in Taiwan

Lithium batterirs are being used in a broad range of applications, from quartz watches and clocks, and as power sources for IC memories requiring long-term reliability of over 10 years to PC motherboards, PDAs and car keyledd entry systems.

The market for lithium batteries is, therefore, rapidly expanding.

Within this diversifying field of electronics, Murata is developing and producing lithium batteries from a new perspective: it is fulfilling market needs while accumulating data on discharge characteristics, ;ong-term reliability, and safety characteristics of batteries.

Lithium metal, used for the anode in lithium batteries, has the largest electric capacity per unit of weight (3.86 Ah/g) among all materials usable for the anode. Thus, batteries with a high energy density can be produced. Also, by using different active materials for the cathode, batteries with diverse characteristics can be made.

Murata has commercialized the Lithium Manganese Dioxide Battery, which uses manganese dioxide for the active cathode material, providing superior stability.

The High Drain lithium coin batteries are ideal for tracking devices for logistics and asset management by adopting Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks such as LoRa and SIGFOX as well as for outdoor infrastructures, FA control systems and environment monitoring sensors.

Coin Manganese Dioxide Lithium Batteries are being used in a broad range of applications, from quarts watches and clocks, a backup power sources for memories requiring long-term reliability over 10 years to TPMS (Tire Presuure Monitoring System), IoT equipment, and car keyless entry systems. The market for Coin Manganese Dioxide Lithium Batteries is, therefore, rapidly expanding.

Developed for the high-expanding industrial market, a wide range of temperature-compatible button cells can be used for servers, EMBDDED systems, Car electronics device, etc., and the temperature can be effectively discharged from -40 degrees to a maximum of 85 degrees, and Keep its long life on applications.

The market for lightweight, slim and compact audio andother types of electronic equipment has grown rapidly thanks to recent technological innovations. This has resulted in increasingly growing demand for high-quality, compact, slim batteries for use as power sources for such equipment. To meet the demand, Murata has created the ultimate in compact batteries and high performance, ensuring high reliability with superb leakage resistance and storage characteristics.

A Silver oxide battery is a small-sized primary battery using zinc as the negative electrode (cathode), silver oxide as the positive electrode (anode) plus an alkaline electrolyte. Thanks to its high energy density and superb stable discharge characteristics, silver oxide battery are used in a broad range of applications, from quartz watches to portable devices such as electronic clinical thermometer and portable games.


To cope with the sharply-growing demand for high quality, compact and slim batteries, Murata has achieved the ultimate in compact batteries and high performance, ensuring high reliability by taking advantage of the state-of-the-art micro battery design & production technologies that Murata has developed over the past years. Murata also has a wide product line-up to cater for diversifying market needs.
