The CP502440 Li-MnO₂ Pouch Cell is designed for compact electronics that need to remain relatively thin while supporting more demanding electrical loads.
With a nominal capacity of 1200 mAh in an approximately 4.9 × 24 × 42 mm format, CP502440 offers a practical balance between enclosure thickness, available energy, and discharge capability. It is particularly suitable for wireless devices that spend much of their life in standby but periodically activate displays, sensors, processors, positioning circuits, or communication modules.
Compact Size with Stronger Power Capability
CP502440 provides significantly more current capability than ultra-thin pouch cells intended primarily for lightweight or low-load electronics.
Its maximum continuous current of 600 mA and maximum pulse discharge current of 1000 mA make it suitable for applications where short active events create meaningful power demand.
Typical load events can include:
- wireless data transmission
- e-paper or LCD display refresh
- sensor activation
- Bluetooth or RF communication
- positioning and tracking functions
- alarm or status reporting
This makes the cell particularly useful when designers need a flat battery architecture but cannot sacrifice electrical performance.
Well Suited to Electronic Shelf Labels
Electronic shelf labels combine several characteristics that match the CP502440 power profile.
Most of the time, the device operates at very low current. However, price updates, display refreshes, and wireless communication create temporary increases in demand.
The combination of 1200 mAh capacity and up to 1000 mA pulse capability allows CP502440 to support these intermittent events while maintaining a compact form factor suitable for slim ESL housings.
Cold-Chain & Data Logging Devices
Cold-chain monitoring equipment must often fit inside cartons, insulated containers, pharmaceutical packaging, or narrow spaces around the transported product.
CP502440’s flat construction makes it suitable for temperature and humidity data loggers that require:
- continuous sensing
- onboard data storage
- periodic Bluetooth or wireless communication
- alarm reporting
- compact packaging integration
Its specified operating temperature range of −40°C to +70°C also makes it relevant to selected refrigerated and field-monitoring environments.
Asset Tracking & Smart Packaging
The CP502440 format is also well matched to compact tracking devices used on parcels, high-value goods, logistics containers, and industrial assets.
Compared with cylindrical cells, the pouch structure allows the battery to follow the flat geometry of the tracker or label.
Potential applications include:
Compact Asset Trackers
Bluetooth, RF, or other wireless trackers where both long operating time and periodic communication are required.
Smart Packaging
Electronic labels used for tamper detection, opening records, product authentication, environmental monitoring, or shipment status reporting.
Electronic Logistics Tags
Reusable or disposable tracking and identification devices that combine sensing with wireless data exchange.
A Middle Ground Between Ultra-Thin and High-Capacity Cells
Within the Lithogenix Li-MnO₂ pouch cell range, CP502440 occupies a useful middle position.
It provides more electrical performance than ultra-thin formats such as CP224147 while remaining substantially smaller than higher-capacity pouch cells intended for larger tracking or industrial devices.
This makes it especially suitable when the design requires:
- a flat battery structure
- moderate overall capacity
- relatively strong continuous current
- high short-duration pulse capability
- limited enclosure volume
