Expansion of USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion batteries

Overview

The market for rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries is expanding to include more diverse formats and USB-C charging capabilities.

Initial developments focused on AA and AAA formats. Companies like Hama introduced systems featuring specialized charging boxes with individual slot control and USB-C connectivity, while MediaRange released AAA batteries with integrated USB-C ports directly on the cells. These products aim to provide a sustainable alternative to single-use alkaline batteries, with some models maintaining a consistent 1.5V for device compatibility.

This trend has extended to 9V (006P) lithium-ion batteries. These new options utilize USB Type-C for charging, bypassing the need for dedicated chargers. The 9V market currently features two main designs: models with internal circuitry to maintain a constant 9V output for devices like infrared thermometers, and series-connected cell models that offer lower voltage but reduced electrical noise.
