How to Select the Right Battery for Wearables & Consumer Electronics

Lithium polymer (Li-Po) is the go-to battery choice for most mobile devices, especially those with tight space constraints. Based on the same chemistry as lithium ion, albeit in pouch form, they are more compact, while still being rechargeable.

Lithium polymer batteries offer the greatest design flexibility for wearables. They’re slim, rechargeable, slightly flexible, and easy to get in a custom size. The variety of sizes available also means they are highly compatible with many form factors, making Li-Po batteries the easiest to adapt to your design.

Choosing a battery for a wearable device might seem intimidating, especially since the product’s usability and form factor depend heavily on this single component. But all you need to keep in mind is the general use case for each type and you’ll be able to identify which is best for your product design, wearables form/function, and battery life needs.

DataPower already offer a wide selection of standard battery sizes and shapes that can be used for prototyping.If you want a custom-shaped battery, be sure to consider tooling cost and certification cost that DataPower can afford this for you.
