PANASONIC Lithium battery BR-C 3V 5000mAh

This PANASONIC BR-C is a highly specialised 3-volt lithium battery in size C, developed for fail-safe power supply in the most demanding industrial applications. Based on the extremely reliable lithium polycarbon monofluoride technology (Li-(CF)n), this cell offers an exceptionally long service life and operational reliability, especially in environments with extreme temperatures. As a loose cell ('bulk'), it is the first choice for supplying PLC controllers and other critical industrial applications.

Highlights at a glance

• Maximum reliability: Developed for fail-safe buffering of program memories in CNC and PLC controls.
• Extreme longevity: Very low self-discharge and a service life of up to 10 years or more.
• Extremely wide temperature range: Guarantees stable performance in a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
• Stable voltage: Constant 3-volt voltage for the reliable supply of sensitive electronics.
• Very high capacity: 5000 mAh for maximum autonomy in demanding applications.

Fail-safe energy for industrial controls

This PANASONIC BR-C battery is the preferred energy source for memory buffering (memory backup) in a wide range of machine tools and automation systems. It is typically used in programmable logic controllers (PLC), industrial computers and metering systems (smart metering) that are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Its main function is to reliably maintain the volatile program memories and system parameters in the event of a power failure or when the machine is switched off.

Superior lithium polycarbon monofluoride technology

The lithium polycarbon monofluoride technology (BR series) is the key to the exceptional reliability of this battery. Compared to lithium manganese dioxide technology (CR series), it offers even lower self-discharge, a flatter discharge curve and superior performance at very high ambient temperatures, as often found in control cabinets of industrial machines. This guarantees maximum operational reliability over the entire long service life.

Developed for professional use

This battery is designed as a direct replacement and OEM component. As a highly specialised single cell, the BR-C is optimised for industrial processing and configuration into battery solutions. Its robust construction and high quality ensure process-reliable integration into end devices for consistently reliable operation.

FAQs about the PANASONIC BR-C battery pack

What is the main advantage of BR technology over CR technology?

BR technology (lithium polycarbon monofluoride) is designed for maximum reliability and longevity at extreme temperatures. It has an even lower self-discharge than CR technology and a very stable voltage over almost the entire lifetime. It is the first choice for critical, low-maintenance industrial applications. CR technology, on the other hand, often offers higher pulse load capability.

Is this battery pack rechargeable?

No. This is a lithium primary battery. Under no circumstances should it be attempted to recharge. Charging attempts are extremely dangerous and can lead to fire or explosion.

How is this cell integrated into a device?

As an industrial raw cell, the BR-C is usually configured with welded solder pins or solder tabs to then be safely soldered onto a circuit board. It can also be used in special battery holders designed for the C size.

How must this battery be disposed of?

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. As an industrial battery, it is subject to the provisions of the Battery Act. Please dispose of the empty battery at the designated industrial or municipal collection points to ensure proper and environmentally friendly recycling.
