The CP505050 Li-MnO₂ Pouch Cell provides the highest capacity and current capability within this Lithogenix pouch cell range.
With 3000 mAh nominal capacity, a maximum continuous current of 1500 mA, and up to 2000 mA pulse discharge current, it is intended for devices whose operating profile goes well beyond occasional low-power sensing.
Its approximately 5 mm-thick flat structure allows product designers to maintain a low-profile enclosure while allocating a much larger energy and power budget to communication, positioning, sensing, processing, or display functions.
Flat Architecture Without Giving Up Power
Flat devices do not always have low electrical demands.
A tracking terminal may activate GPS and wireless communication repeatedly. An industrial IoT node may perform frequent measurements and onboard processing. A connected logistics device may operate several sensors before transmitting data.
CP505050 is designed for these applications, where maintaining a pouch-cell form factor is desirable but ultra-low-power cells do not provide sufficient electrical headroom.
Its broad 49 × 50 mm footprint distributes the battery volume across the device rather than concentrating it around a cylindrical cell.
Higher Current for More Active Electronics
The electrical capability of CP505050 clearly distinguishes it from smaller pouch cells in the series.
With up to 1500 mA continuous current, the cell can support electronics that remain active for longer periods or operate higher-demand circuitry during normal use.
Its 2000 mA maximum pulse discharge capability provides additional support for short-duration events such as:
- wireless transmission
- positioning and location acquisition
- sensor activation
- display updates
- alarm reporting
- onboard processing
- device wake-up and synchronization
Final suitability should still be verified against the actual current waveform, pulse duration, duty cycle, and cutoff voltage of the device.
Asset Tracking & Logistics Electronics
CP505050 is particularly relevant to tracking systems that require frequent communication or a larger lifetime energy reserve.
Typical applications include:
GPS & Wireless Asset Trackers
Suitable for tracking equipment, reusable containers, valuable goods, machinery, and other assets where positioning and communication occur repeatedly.
Container & Logistics Monitors
Can support devices combining location, temperature, humidity, shock, tilt, or other shipment-condition measurements.
High-Activity Tracking Labels
The flat battery geometry is useful for larger label-style trackers where a cylindrical battery would increase enclosure depth.
Industrial IoT & Remote Monitoring
Industrial monitoring devices often perform more than periodic sensing.
A single node may collect multiple sensor inputs, process data locally, store records, and communicate with gateways or cloud-connected systems.
The combination of 3000 mAh capacity and higher continuous-current capability makes CP505050 suitable for selected:
- industrial wireless sensors
- equipment monitoring nodes
- environmental monitoring devices
- telemetry units
- smart infrastructure electronics
- distributed IoT terminals
This is particularly useful when the enclosure favors a broad, flat battery design.
Smart Retail & Electronic Labels
CP505050 can also be considered for larger electronic shelf labels and intelligent display devices requiring a greater energy reserve or more active operating cycle.
Display refreshes, wireless synchronization, status indication, and repeated communication can create both cumulative energy demand and short current peaks.
For these products, CP505050 provides an alternative to cylindrical battery layouts while supporting more demanding electronics than smaller pouch formats.
Cold-Chain & Condition Monitoring
More advanced cold-chain loggers may integrate several functions in one device, including sensing, memory, displays, alarms, and wireless communication.
CP505050 offers enough energy and current capability for these more feature-rich monitoring systems while retaining a flat mechanical structure suitable for reusable transport monitors, packaging inserts, and logistics equipment.
Its specified −40°C to +70°C operating temperature range also supports evaluation for selected cold-chain and field applications.
Highest-Capability Option in the CP Range
CP505050 is not intended for products where minimum battery thickness or minimum weight is the primary design requirement.
Its advantage becomes clear when the application needs:
- 3000 mAh nominal capacity
- higher continuous power availability
- strong pulse discharge capability
- a flat rather than cylindrical battery structure
- longer runtime for active electronics
- greater flexibility for wireless and sensing functions
This makes it particularly suitable when a flat product design must be maintained without restricting the electronics to an ultra-low-power operating profile.
