Abstract

A small capacity battery for powering electronic devices, such as an e-book reader, is provided. This small capacity battery is designed to produce low area-specific resistance, which maintains usable operating voltages even during periods of high current draw. As a result, a lighter and smaller form-factor battery may provide the same battery capacity as a larger and heavier conventional battery. A user may then be provided with a lightweight and small form-factor electronic device that achieves an extended battery life.
