Small and powerful enough battery?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a small yet powerful battery for an alarm tag that requires a buzzer to operate for at least five minutes at 5V and 75 mA. A suggestion was made to use two CR2032 lithium batteries, which provide sufficient capacity in a compact size. The Renata 317 Skin battery was considered, but it was determined to be inadequate due to its low capacity of only 10.5 mAh. Adding a small transistor was proposed as a potential solution, but it was clarified that transistors do not enhance battery capacity. The conversation highlights the challenge of balancing size and power in battery selection for electronic projects.

Hi all,
I work on something.. its alarm tag. I found buzzer which i want to use in simple electric circuit. Components are the buzzer, and a battery. The tag must work minimum 5 min. The problem is.. I can not find battery small and powerful enough at the same time. Battery diagonal must be 3 cm or less.
Electronic characteristics- Magnetic Buzzer PB-0927PQ

-Oscillation Frequency (Hz)-_______________2731
-Operating Voltage (Vp-p)-_________________4.5~ 5.5
-Rated Voltage (Vp-p)-_____________________5.0
-Current Consumption (mA/max.)-____________75 at Rated Voltage
-Sound Pressure Level (db/min)-______________85 at 10cm at Rated Voltage
-Coil Resistance (Ω)- _______________________25± 4
-Operating Temperature (°C)________________-20 / +70
-Storage Temperature (°C)_________________-30/ +80
-Condition by wave (°C)__________________260 ±5°C / within 5 sec
-condition by hand (°C)_________________350±20°C / within 5 sec

I hope someone knows the answer of my problems (battery, brand or i don't know..)
please help me.

I might be missing something, but you appear to be saying you need 75 ma for 5 min at 5V? That's only 6.3 mah. Slap 2 CR2032 lithium batteries together and you get 230 mah at 6V in a package only 20x7mm!

Thank you for your reply.
Do you think Renata 317 Skin 5.80x1.65mm /1.55V package of four can do the same work.

No; Google tells me they are only 10.5 mah.

How about adding small transistor. It might help right?

No, transistors do not increase the capacity of a battery.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
