「Commercialized in April 2019, the EnerCera® series of small, thin, high-capacity chip-type ceramic rechargeable batteries has received strong recognition as an energy-storage device that addresses the challenge of securing power, which is an obstacle to the full-scale adoption of IoT modules, and won the Grand Prix in the Device & Technology category at CEATEC 2019 in October 2019. For the zinc rechargeable battery (ZNB®), the company conducted testing based on the UL9540A standard by UL, a US independent safety science organization headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois. The testing demonstrated a high level of safety, with no thermal runaway or ignition, and resulted in the battery becoming the first in the world in the energy-storage field to receive the UL Verification Mark.」
EnerCera received external recognition after commercialization, while ZNB progressed to the demonstration of its safety performance and acquisition of the world's first UL Verification Mark. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「The company developed the EnerCera® series of small, thin, high-capacity chip-type ceramic rechargeable batteries. The series has received strong recognition, including an Innovation Award at CES 2019, one of the world's largest consumer electronics trade shows, held in Las Vegas in January 2019, and was commercialized in April 2019. The company plans to begin mass production sequentially for adoption in a range of applications, including smart cards, IoT devices and wearable devices.」
