Developed a high-capacity cylindrical lithium primary battery - the high-power "CR17500EX" model and established a mass production system - Expanded the product lineup for communications equipment applications, achieving a 17% capacity increase compared to the previous CR17500EP model

Lithium batteries developed and manufactured at FDK's Tottori Plant (Iwami-cho, Iwami-gun, Tottori, Japan) are widely used in both domestic and international markets. These applications include smart meter devices, IoT equipment, security systems, fire and gas alarms, medical devices, and automotive electronics.

With increasing demand from customers for longer battery life and higher capacity in our core Cylindrical-type Lithium Primary Batteries, FDK undertook a thorough review of the battery's structure and components. The result is the development of the "CR17500EX", which delivers a 17% increase in capacity compared to the existing CR17500EP model while maintaining the same physical dimensions. This increased capacity enables longer operating times for installed devices and helps reduce the number of batteries required, contributing to improved design efficiency and cost savings. The "CR17500EX" is also compliant with major international standards and regulations, including the EU RoHS Directive, Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, and UL Safety Standard (File No. MH13421, United States).

FDK remains committed to supporting the evolving needs of its customers through the development of advanced battery technologies that combine performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance. FDK, as a Smart Energy Partner, will continue to provide customers with proposals for the efficient use of electric energy in a safe and efficient manner by assembling advanced technologies.
