Get charged up about RFID battery options

There's no shortage of battery choices for radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. While users are primarily concerned with the operating performance of system hardware and software, the system manufacturer's choice of battery technology has a direct effect on how long and how reliably that performance is delivered. In this white paper, Tadiran's U.S. Battery Division details nonrechargeable batteries employed in RFID applications, including requirements based on electrical, mechanical, physical and environmental considerations, as well as cost and accessibility for replacement.

For RFID tag applications, even the most efficient alkaline cells cannot come close to matching the two most popular lithium cell types in the characteristics in which batteries are compared, such as specific energy, energy density, open circuit voltage, service lifetime and operating temperature range.
