‐‐
Activation
Time
and
Air
Requirements
When
batteries
are
stored
with
the
adhesive
tab
intact,
they
have
a
lower
open
circuit
voltage
(OCV)
since
the
oxygen
contained
in
the
battery
is
consumed
during
storage.
When
the
tab
is
removed
the
OCV
will
rise
as
oxygen
activates
the
air
electrode.
With
multiple
air
holes
for
added
rate
capability,
the
PP355
may
take
a
couple
of
seconds
to
air
up
enough
to
sustain
a
50
mW
load
above
1
volt.
Based
on
the
time
it
will
take
a
consumer
to
remove
the
tab,
insert
the
battery
into
the
device,
close
the
battery
compartment,
the
battery
should
be
ready
to
support
the
device
load
when
the
user
turns
on
the
power.
For
maximum
performance
of
a
PP355
under
a
50
mW
continuous
load,
a
minimum
air
flow
rate
of
2
‐
3
cc
of
air
per
minute
is
needed.
For
higher
power
demand
devices
(100
mW),
a
minimum
of
4
‐
6
cc
of
air
per
minute
is
needed.
In
most
devices
this
amount
of
air
easily
leaks
into
the
battery
compartment.
