The manufacturing process of flexible printed batteries involves screen printing presses, lasers and chemical compounds modified to accommodate the new process. The end result is a thin flexible printed battery.
Printed batteries are a disposable, thin and flexible printed power source. Batteries are tailored according to application and integrated to devices they are powering.
Taking advantage of screen printing capabilities, customers are now interested in incorporating the battery directly into their application.
Combining printed battery technology with traditional semi-conductor components, garnered a lot of interest from many different industries making flexible hybrid electronics, temperature sensor labels, wireless sensors for healthcare, sports and logistics.
Printed batteries come in many different varieties; disposable, rechargeable, high current, low current, lithium, zinc-manganese, etc.
