Nichicon and Epishine Launch Self-Charging Battery

Nichicon and Epishine announced the launch of SCB-EpNi-2500-000400, a self-charging battery solution. This power module combines Nichicon’s cutting-edge LTO batteries with Epishine’s ultra-thin, flexible organic solar cells, optimized for indoor light, to deliver a plug-and-play energy autonomous solution for IoT and other low-power electronics. 

“With the self-charging battery we’re not just launching a product—we’re setting a new benchmark in sustainable power for electronics,” said Klas Engström, sales director at Nichicon. “Our self-charging battery redefines what’s possible in energy efficiency and integration.” 

The partnership between Nichicon and Epishine has resulted in a power module that combines advanced technology with ease of use. Featuring Nichicon’s LTO batteries, known for their rapid charging, high power discharge and long lifespan, together with Epishine’s ultra-thin, flexible solar cells, designed to efficiently capture indoor light, this innovative solution serves as a sustainable energy source for small, low-power electronics.

Designed as a plug-and-play solution, the SCB-EpNi makes the transition to light energy easy. Its solder-free assembly connects directly to the PCB, simplifying integration and enabling integrators to focus on innovation rather than complexity.

With ease of use at its core, SCB-EpNi is engineered to reduce development cycles, minimize setup time and accelerate time-to-market for new devices. By enabling large-scale manufacturing and efficient deployment, the product ensures cost savings and scalability for both partners and customers.

“Launching this product with Nichicon is a big step forward for the future of energy and technology. By integrating light energy harvesting with energy storage, we are introducing an even smarter way to power electronics while contributing to a more sustainable future,” said Hassan Abdalla, chief product officer at Epishine.
