Infinite Power Solutions manufactures a flexible rechargeable micro ampere-hour solidstate battery based on thin-film Lithium technology where the battery can be engineered into the product for life as a cost effective solution with “the battery that never needs to be replaced”. The performance characteristics of the battery combined with low power electronic textile applications will require “A Different Way of Thinking About Batteries” relative to battery management and innovative methods of recharging the battery (such as charging the battery whenever the materials are washed and dryed). This paper will review the characteristics of the battery specifically in relation to power generation for flexible electronic materials and the integration issues for a thin-film battery for flexible electronic materials.
