Saft Lithium Thionyl Chloride 3.6V, 1/2 AA Battery

Due to the high terminal voltage 3.6V they are not suitable as direct replacements for other battery technologies in the same can sizes. SAFT Lithium Non-rechargeable Batteries - LS. These batteries are not like typical batteries, they have a nominal voltage rating of 3.6 V designed for use in applications where a device is used for a long period of time such as utility metering, security and alarms. LS batteries use lithium-thionyl chloride so they have a high energy density, low discharge rate, ideal for lengthy storage periods plus they are fully compliant with IEC60086-4 and IEC60079-11 safety standards. Why choose these batteries?. Saft LS lithium batteries are 3.6 V rated which is considerably higher than commonly used batteries. They are applicable for equipment or instruments designed for this rating otherwise damage will ensue. Saft LS lithium batteries are non-rechargeable and should not be recharged. Lithium batteries what are the advantages?. The nominal voltage of 3.6 V, greater than conventional cells Wide temperature range −60ﾟC to +85ﾟC High energy density, the highest of any primary battery. Features and Benefits Operating voltage: 3.6 V Bobbin construction Low self-discharge for extended life Operating temperature: - 60°C to + 85°C Non-flammable Resistance to corrosion Low magnetic signature Size options; 1/ 2 AA, 2/ 3 AA, C and D Typical Applications Lithium batteries are used in electronic devices that require a small, compact source of power. Example applications include: Utility Meters Smoke detectors Alarm systems FAQ ‘s Are Lithium Batteries Harmful ? Lithium batteries can sometimes leak a substance called potassium hydroxide which is a caustic agent that can cause eye, skin and respiratory irritations. This risk is reduced by not mixing different manufacturer battery types, batteries of different chemistries and by the replacement of all batteries at the same time. How to dispose of Alkaline/Lithium Batteries? Recycle responsibly, a wide range of schemes are available. Safety Advice Keep out of sight and reach of children Guidance Always install the batteries correctly as per instruction Ensure that the contact points are clean and conductive Do not mix different types of battery Do not heat or attempt to recharge the battery Do not dispose of in a fire
