[ Lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) - LSH cell range ]


Non rechargeable battery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 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
