0 Introduction

The FALION 110 is a removable Lithium-Ion battery pack that providespower when you do not have access to an DC outlet.The FALION 110 battery is an excellent source for high-energy power in avariety of portable devices. The FALCOM 110 provides light weight, highcapacity (3.7V/1100mAh) and compact form factor.

0.1 Structure

The FALION 110 battery has a two layer, coiled structure inside its case.These two layers consist of a positive electrode plate and negative electrodeplate.

0.2 Typical FALION 110 battery performance

0.2.1 Impedance of FALION 110

The internal resistance (impedance) measured using the AC 1000 Hzmethod will be not more than 125 milli Ohms for the whole battery packmeasured on the batter contacts of the PCB.

0.2.2 Charge/Discharge characteristics

The FALION 110 battery has none of the memory effects as seen in otherrechargeable batteries (“memory effect” refers to the phenomenon where theapparent discharge capacity of a battery is reduced when it is repetitivelydischarged incompletely and then will be recharged).The use of the special carbon creates an extremely flat discharge voltageprofile, allowing the production of stable power throughout the dischargeperiod of the battery.Better performance can be reached by trickle charging. Fast charging can beused with FALION 110 battery, but you must be sure that your charger canhandle the cell chemistry that is involved.To calculate charge time for your battery, use the following equations:

Slow charger: (Cell capacity in mAh / Charging rate in mA) x 1.4= time in hours.

Fast charger: (Cell capacity in mAh / Charging rate in mA) x 1.5= time in hours.

For example, to charge a 1100mAh battery using 500mA charging currentresult in approximately 3 hours charging time.

The FALION 110 battery is charged with a constant-voltage, constant-current supply. The figure below illustrates the charging/discharging voltageand current profiles of FALION 110 battery depending on time. When itreaches the end-of-charge voltage (4.1 or 4.2V), the current will start totaper off.



The charger enters into constant voltage mode and regulates the outputvoltage to the end-of-charge voltage. The current will continue to taper offuntil it almost reaches zero. Charging will be terminated after the batteryreached full capacity (3.7V/1100mAh).

* The charge current is usually expressed as C-rate. The C-rate describes the batterycapacity in Ampere-Hours. It measures how much current is required to fully charge thebattery within one hour, assuming no losses. For a 1100 mAh battery, charge the batteryat 1C rate. 1C charge current means charging the battery with 1.1A. Ideally, it will takeone hour to fully charge the battery at 1C rate.



1 Contact pads of the FALION 110

There are only 3 contact terminals as shown in the figure below, positive(C), negative (A) and NTC (B).

1.1 NTC Thermistor basic properties

Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor is manufactured fromhigh purity and uniform materials to achieve a construction of near-perfecttheoretical density. This ensures small size, tight resistance and B-valuetolerances, and fast response to temperature variations, making a highlysensitive and precision component. Thermistor is available in a wide rangeof types to meet your demands for small size and high reliability.The Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor integrated in theFALION 110 is MITSUBISHI manufactured with part number: TN11-3H103JT.For more information about this NTC : http://www.mmea.com/The characteristic of the NTC-thermistor is shown in tables below.

3 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN HANDLING THEFALION 110 BATTERY

To prevent a possibility of the battery from leaking, heating or explosionplease observe the following precautions:

3.1 WARNINGS !

1. Do not immerse the battery in water or seawater, and keep the battery ina cool dry surrounding if it stands by.

2. Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source as fire or heater3. When recharging, use the battery charger specifically for that purpose4. Do not reverse the position (+) and negative (-) terminals5. Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet6. Do not discard the battery in fire or heat it7. Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting the positive (+)

and negative (-) terminal with metal objects such as wire.8. Do not transport or store the battery together with metal objects such as

necklaces, hairpins etc.9. Do not strike or throw the battery10. Do not directly solder the battery and pierce the battery with a nail or

other sharp object.

3.2 CAUTIONS !

1. Do not use or leave the battery at very high temperature (for example, atstrong direct sunlight or in a vehicle in extremely hot weather).Otherwise, it can overheat or fire or its performance will be degenerateand its service life will be decreased.

2. Do not use it in a location where static electricity is great, otherwise, thesafety devices may be damaged, causing hidden trouble of safety.

3. If the battery leaks, and the electrolyte get into the eyes. Do not rubeyes, instead, rinse the eyes with clean running water, and immediatelyseek medical attention. Otherwise, it may injure eyes or cause a loss ofsight.

4. If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored ordeformed, or in any way appear abnormal during use, recharging orstorage, immediately remove it from the device or battery charger andstop using it.

5. In case the battery terminals are dirt, clean the terminals with a dry clothbefore use. Otherwise power failure or charge failure may occur due tothe poor connection with the instrument.

6. Be aware discarded batteries may cause fire, tape the battery terminals toinsulate them
