Lithium Ion Capacitors(LIC’s) play a vital role in IoT devices as it is used to store and release the charge to support the high pulse current which traditional Li-SOCl2 bobbin batteries are not capable of supporting such high currents. When LiSOCl2 Bobbin cells are combined with Lithium ion capacitors, capacitors act as pulse helpers, providing the high power required by IoT devices during the transmission’s of the data. Elecorev, a leading battery provider in India, offers a range of capacitors with there LiSOCl2 battery ranging from 1200mah to 19000mah capacity, providing a hybrid battery solution to effectively power IoT projects.

The LiSOCl2 battery range was introduced by Elecorev in the year 2019 to address the evolving needs of smart devices that demand higher power pulse capabilities, wider operating temperature ranges, and longer lifetimes. The range combines Elecorev’s reliable and low self-discharge Li-SOCl2 cell technology with a carefully designed LiC (Lithium-ion Capacitor) as a pulse helper. Over time, Our capacitor range is expanded with Li-SOCl2 battery with different LIC options to accommodate the diverse specifications of customers and based on different communication protocols i.e. GSM, GPRS, 2G, 3G, 4G and other communication modules which require higher pulse currents.

Passivation, the formation of a Lithium Chloride layer on the anode, is a common phenomenon in Li-SOCl2 cells. While passivation protects the cells from self-discharge and ensures long shelf life, it increases the internal resistance of the cell. This can cause low voltage readings initially, leading to delays in current delivery. To circumvent this issue, Elecorev incorporates capacitors, supercapacitors, or lithium capacitors in parallel with the cells. These capacitors store charges and help increase the necessary voltage, preventing any delay in current delivery. The capacitance, measured in Farads (F), determines the amount of electric charge carried by the pulse helper.
