The name "Twicell" derives from that it can be used for approximately twice as long as our standard Cadnica

(Nickel-Cadmium) battery after one charging.

High Capacity, Quick Charging, Greater Reliability-Twicell Provides Powerful Support for High-Tech Equipment.

SANYO named its high-performance nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries "Twicell", a name to suggest their outstanding characteristics. Twicell batteries last twice as long as SANYOﾕs standard Cadnica [nickel-cadmium] batteries from a single charging cycle. In 1990, SANYO began the mass-production of Twicell batteries. Now Twicell batteries are one of the keys for the downsizing and advanced functions of high-tech equipment.

Twicell batteries use a positive electrode made of nickel oxide compound and a negative electrode made of a oxide absorbing alloy. These sophisticated materials combine with SANYOﾕs proprietary technology to ensure unbeatably high performance and dependability. As a result, Twicell batteries have been a top seller right from the start. And now an extended Twicell line accommodates a broader range of applications.

A Powerful Range

A broad range of nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries is available, ranging from cylindrical to rectangular (prismatic) types. Twicell SLIM rectangular batteries are ideal for more compact, efficient applications.

High Capacity

SANYO's pursuit of higher capacity has increased Twicell capacity up nearly twice as high as standard Cadnica batteries, meaning Twicell batteries work much longer. This performance makes Twicell an effective power source for many kinds of high-tech equipment. Twicell batteries can also withstand over 500charge / discharge cycles (conditions stipulated in IEC61951characteristics-

2(Clausegraph) for4superior.4) ) for superioreconomyeconomy. .

Rapid Charging Capability

When a specifically designed charger is used, Twicell batteries can be charged in only 1.2 hours＊. A charge control module is also available.

High Reliability

Following the market launch of Twicell batteries in October 1990, SANYO opened a new plant in Tokushima, Japan, in April 1992. SANYO's advanced manufacturing technology and strict quality control are the secrets behind the outstanding reliability of Twicell.
