Panasonic is happy to announce the development of an additional Pin‐Type Lithium‐Ion Battery (CG‐425A, nominal voltage 3.8V, typical capacity 32.0 mAh) with a diameter of 4.7 mm and a weight of 1.0g (without tabs). This new Battery is suitable for powering small applications such as wearable devices. This product, in addition to being a small and slim cylindrical shaped Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery, features high reliability and rapid charging. 
  
The full‐scale introduction of wearable device products, anticipated widely as the next wave in mobile devices after smartphones, is expected to affect a wide variety of applications. 
Rechargeable Batteries, the power source for wearable devices, will be small and light as well as feature a high level of reliability and performance. 

Panasonic has leveraged its engineering expertise to produce the new CG-425A. An exterior stainless steel can provide dimensional stability. This design is suitable for slim devices such as pen‐shaped or spherical shaped products.  

“We are pleased to expand our product line of Pin‐Type Lithium-Ion Batteries”, states Mr. Keisuke Yoneda, Panasonic Resident Engineer. “Customers can visit our website to request samples to determine how our battery will help power their application.”  Panasonic will apply its technical expertise and superior technology derived from many years of material and production technology development, to further expand the line‐up of this new product.
