Infinite Power Solutions has unveiled its new Thinergy family of micro-energy cell (MEC) products and accompanying technical specifications.

The company has said that the new offering combines ambient energy harvesting and delivers power to wireless sensor nodes and other micro-systems for their operations. As such, it is designed to bridge the performance gap between batteries and supercapacitors.

The company further claims that the unprecedented discharge current demonstrated by Thinergy MECs, makes it a suitable technology for replacing supercapacitors in many applications.

The company claims that Thinergy MECs are capable of outperforming other micro-batteries (primary and rechargeable), including Lithium (Li) coin cells, printed batteries and other thin-film batteries (TFBs).

The Thinergy MECs are also expected to be safe and eco-friendly and when recharged over their lifetime they reportedly provide energy equivalent to or more than traditional primary cells that are hundreds of times larger in total volume.

The company has announced four standard products within the new MEC family out of which Thinergy MEC101 and Thinergy MEC120 are available now. The other two products will be available later this year.

Infinite Power Solutions is a US based clean-technology company engaged in developing, marketing and manufacturing rechargeable thin-film micro-energy storage devices for micro-electronic applications.
