  • Abstract
    The continuous growth of portable applications in the consumer market demands more and more battery power. Battery chemistries such as nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, lithium-ion and alkaline manganese are available to serve the various market needs. This paper discusses the low-cost RAM battery system that is a potential power source for a variety of consumer applications. RAM´s performance characteristics are compared to competing rechargeable battery systems as well as primary alkaline cells. Advantages of improved charge retention at higher operating temperatures and in intermittent use are discussed and possible solutions for OEM applications are offered
