Introduction
Silver oxide battery is a small-sized primary battery mainly used for wrist watches, using zinc as the negative electrode (cathode), silver oxide as the positive electrode (anode) plus an alkaline electrolyte . Thanks to its high energy density and superb stable discharge characteristics, silver oxide batteries are being used in a broad range of applications, from quarts watches to portable devices such as electric clinical thermometers and portable games.
 
To cope with a sharply-growing demands for high-quality, compact and slim batteries, Sony has realized the ultimate in compact batteries and high performance, ensuring high reliability by taking advantage of the state-of-the-art micro battery design & production technologies that Sony has developed over the past years. Sony also has a wide product line-up available to cater for the diversifying market needs.

Principle of Sony Silver Oxide Battery
Silver oxide (Ag2O) is used for the active cathode material, and Specially processed fine zinc-alloy powder is used for the active anode material. Potassium hydroxide is used for high drain type silver oxide battery as a electrolyte, and sodium hydroxide is used for low drain type.
Battery discharge reactions are follows
With open circuit voltage of approx. 1.55V, the battery voltage is extremely stable and impedance remains low during discharge.
Discharge Characteristics after Storage for Silver Oxide Batteries for Watches/Clocks based SR521SW
60°C 20-days and 60°C 40-days storage conditions are equivalent to 1 years and 2 years, respectively, at room temperature.
Excellent long-term reliability
After storage, decrease in discharge time is minima1.
