Coin Manganese Dioxide Lithium Batteries are being used in a broad range of applications, from quarts watches and clocks, a backup power sources for memories requiring long-term reliability over 10 years to IoT equipment, and car keyless entry systems. Lithium metal, used for the anode in Coin Manganese Dioxide Lithium Batteries, has the largest electric capacity per unit weight (3.86 Ah/g) among all the materials usable for the anode. Thus, batteries with a high energy density can be produced. Sony has commercialized the Coin Manganese Dioxide Lithium Batteries, which uses manganese dioxide for the active cathode material for superior stability.

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.

Alkaline manganese battery is a small-sized primary battery, using manganese dioxide(MnO2) as the active cathode material and zinc-alloy powder as the active anode material. Due to its excellent cost performance, alkaline manganese batteries are being used in a brad range of applications from toys, calculators to portable devices.
