THINERGY® Micro-Energy Cells (MECs)New Class of Electronic Component

• THINERGY MECs represent a transformational technology:

– A new class of electronic component (“designed in” for life of system)

– Changes the way electronics are being designed and powered

– Offer best performance features of batteries and supercaps:• High current/power (more like supercaps)

• High energy density and ultra-low leakage current (like batteries)

• Much thinner (0.17mm) than comparable prismaticsupercaps (>3.0mm) or other batteries

• Outperforms all other micro-batteries, including all other thin-film batteries
