RFID

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is used across industries for wireless identification and tracking of objects and assets. RFID systems consist of RFID tags that store data, RFID readers that read the information from the tags, and software that processes and manages the data. The RFID readers transmit radio frequency signals that are received by the RFID tags and the tags respond by transmitting information back to the RFID reader. There are two types of RFID tags, active and passive tags, and active RFID tags, which can transmit more data, are typically powered by a battery.

In order for active RFID tags to continuously transmit data at longer distances (between 30 and 60 meters), they need dependable batteries. Batteries for RFID applications must be able to provide uninterrupted power and have a long lifespan to ensure continuous communication. They must also have a high enough power density to allow active RFID tags to reach their full range.

Nichicon produces lithium titanium-oxide (LTO) batteries that can be used to power active RFID tags. Our LTO batteries have long lifespans and energy harvesting capabilities, allowing them to provide continuous power and energy storage for active RFID tags while rarely needing to be replaced. The high power density of our LTO batteries allows active RFID tags to transmit data over long distances.  

LTO Batteries for Long-Range and Long-Life RFID Tags

Nichicon’s batteries provide dependable energy with high power density to transmit data over longer distances.

The long lifespan and energy harvesting capabilities of our LTO batteries mean you will rarely if ever have to replace the batteries in the RFID tags.

Features

The following characteristics make Nichicon’s LTO batteries great for RFID applications:

Rapid Charging
Our LTO batteries have a charge/discharge time of about three minutes, which allows them to recharge quickly to provide uninterrupted power.
Small Size
Nichicon LTO batteries are micro-sized, with diameters as small as 3 mm, allowing them to be used in small devices like RFID tags.
Long Life
Our LTO batteries have a lifespan of over 25,000 charge/discharge cycles and can provide interrupted power for a long time.
Maintenance-Free
Our LTO batteries are virtually maintenance-free and rarely require replacement.
Sustainable
Our LTO batteries are sustainable and RoHS-compliant, meeting all environmental standards for operation and disposal. ISO 14001 certified.
High Power Density
You can expect a high-power output and long-lasting performance from our high-power density batteries.
Safe
Our LTO batteries have a low risk of explosion or ignition, even in extreme hot or cold temperatures, making them ideal for RFID tags in any environment. UL 1642 & IEC 62133-2 certified.
Suitable for Cold Conditions
Our batteries can operate effectively in temperatures as low as -30 °C.
High Power Discharge
Our LTO batteries can discharge in about three minutes, which makes them well suited for the power needs of RFID tags.
