Announcing BTRY 1S4P – the world’s thinnest integrated energy solution

Zürich, Switzerland – BTRY today announces the BTRY 1S4P, the world’s first ultra-thin, integrated battery designed specifically for smart cards. The groundbreaking BTRY 1S4P battery will enable smart cards to function independently, opening unprecedented use cases in identification, logistics, and secure transactions.

Unlocking the next generation of smart cards: active digital identification and dynamic data storage

Smart cards and logistics labels are becoming increasingly intelligent, offering functions beyond simple identification. Until now, smart cards have relied on external power sources, such as card readers, limiting crucial advanced functionality. The following use cases of BTRY 1S4P are well tested, pending an adequate rechargeable power source:

“The only thing holding back the widespread adoption of such a solution in a card format is the battery.” – Charles Bourbonnais, CEO of Hive-Zox

The thinnest battery on the market

BTRY 1S4P is thinner than the packaging of existing batteries, making it the thinnest battery available today. It is an all-solid-state secondary battery, primarily suitable for reusable cards. The dimensions and specifications have been defined in close collaboration with manufacturers to perfectly fit their needs—providing a powerful, ultra-thin power source that was previously unavailable.

BTRY 1S4P stands for 1x serial 4x parallel cells and will boast unprecedented specifications:

The battery moment is now for smart and remote applications

The BTRY 1SP4 showcases the unique qualities of BTRY’s patented technology as a thin, powerful, and reliable high-end battery. As innovative smart card manufacturers test the BTRY 1S4P, multiple prototypes of BTRY in different form factors are evaluated in the MedTech and wearable consumer electronics industries. The pilot production capabilities in Europe are being developed alongside customer adoption and the maturity of new applications. BTRY is now inviting early adopters to get in touch for collaborations and participate in PoC projects to explore the full potential of BTRY in their applications.
