Flexible batteries represent a category of battery technology engineered for versatility and adaptability concerning form factor and application. These batteries are distinguished by their capacity to flex, twist, or conform to various shapes while maintaining their functionality. This flexibility renders them suitable for deployment in diverse devices and scenarios where traditional rigid batteries would be impractical.

The primary types of flexible batteries include thin-film batteries and printed batteries. Thin-film batteries are low-profile, flexible, and often disposable, featuring a small footprint that makes them well-suited for applications in flat electronics, wearable devices, and medical biosensors. They are available in voltages below 1.5v, between 1.5v and 3v, and above 3v, with capacities ranging from below 10mAh to above 100mAh. These batteries serve as both primary and secondary options, catering to consumer electronics, smart packaging, smart cards, medical devices, wireless sensors, and various other applications.
