LITHIUM - Vanadium Pentoxide Rechargeable

Panasonic Vanadium Pentoxide

(VL Type) rechargeable lithium batteries are
compact, high energy secondary batteries that
have nearly twice the energy of conventional
button-shaped
Ni-Cd batteries.

Features:

One high-voltage battery can serve your backup needs

Can provide the voltage equivalent of two or three 1.2V
Ni-Cd's or two capacitors
Months of continuous use as a backup
Self discharge rate less than 2% a year
Superior reliability; withstands overcharging and discharging

Applications:

ECRs
Memory back-up in facsimiles
Memory cards
Personal computers
Sequencers
Telephones
Tuners
Video cameras
VTRs
