The Saft LSH cylindrical primary lithium cells are based on Lithium-Thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) chemistry and feature high surface area spiral electrodes for maximum current capability.

They are designed for applications requiring continuous currents in the 0.1-1.8 A range, with superimposed pulses as high as 4 A.

Construction features

  • spiral electrodes
  • stainless steel container
  • hermetic and sturdy glass-to-metal sealing
  • built-in safety vents
  • individual cells with 5.5 A non-resettable fuse
  • available as individual batteries (size 1/3 C to D; with or without tabs) or multi-cell battery packs

 

Main applications

  • utility metering
  • automated meter reading
  • alarms and security wireless devices
  • mobile asset tracking
  • GPS
  • emergency location transmitters beacons (ELTs, EPIRBs)
  • professional electronics
  • military radiocommunication
  • sonobuoys
  • oil exploration
  • automotive telematics
  • telemetry

 

Benefits

  •  High operating voltage, stable during most of the application lifetime
  • Good pulse capability
  • Wide operating temperature range  (-60°C to +70°C),  +120°C for some cell versions
  • Good resistance to passivation 
  • Non-flammable (and non-pressurized at ambient temperature),  inorganic (but corrosive) electrolyte
  • Less than 3% capacity loss per year, during storage at ambient temperature before use
  • Performance independent from cell orientation
  • Up to 25 years of mass production experience
  • Compliant with the European directive RoHS
  • Good safety records
