Why 5G IoT devices choose button batteries

22-09-2025

5G IoT devices widely use button batteries, mainly due to their following advantages:

Small and compact: IoT devices are becoming increasingly miniaturized, and button batteries are well suited to this demanding space requirement.

High energy density: Especially in chemical systems such as lithium-manganese button batteries (such as CR2032), it can provide high energy in a small volume, meeting the long-term battery life requirements of IoT devices.

Low self-discharge rate: Button batteries have a slow power decay and a long storage time, making them very suitable for IoT devices that require long-term standby or intermittent operation.

Stability and reliability: A good button battery has a stable voltage and a leak-proof design, which can protect the precision circuits inside the device.

Pulse discharge capability: IoT devices need batteries to be able to provide instantaneous, high-current pulses when communicating. By reducing internal resistance, this pulse power can be increased.

Capacity and lifespan: Transmitting more data means more power consumption, so higher-capacity batteries are needed to ensure device lifespan. Capacity is increased through improved materials and technologies.

Environmental adaptability: Many IoT devices operate in complex environments (such as industrial and outdoor environments), requiring batteries with a wider operating temperature range. Power Glory's CR-HT wide-temperature series lithium-manganese button batteries can adapt to environments ranging from -40°C to 125°C.

Safety and environmental protection: Batteries must pass relevant safety certifications (such as UL, UN38.3, ROHS, CE, etc.) to ensure that they are free of mercury, cadmium and other harmful substances.

When choosing a coin cell battery for your 5G IoT device, consider the following:

Confirm the battery model: Check the device manual or the markings on old batteries (e.g., common CR2032, CR2025, etc.).

Pay attention to capacity: Battery capacity is typically specified in milliampere-hours (mAh). A higher value generally indicates longer battery life.

Choose a well-known brand: Well-known brands generally offer better consistency, reliability, discharge performance, and safety. For example, Power Glory's lithium-manganese button batteries are optimized for IoT scenarios and are highly adaptable.

Pay attention to the expiration date: Button batteries also have a shelf life, so choose freshly manufactured ones.

Check certifications: Ensure the battery has the necessary safety certifications (such as CE, ROHS, etc.).

Power Glory's summary!

In the 5G world, coin-cell batteries are the "energy heart" of numerous low-power, miniaturized IoT devices. They are crucial for ensuring these devices' reliable and long-lasting network connectivity and data transmission.
