Primary lithium battery

LS 17500

High energy density

A-size bobbin cell

Benefits

during most of the lifetime of

the application

range (- 60/+ 85°C)

(less than 1 % after 1 year of

storage at + 20°C)

systems

atmospheric corrosion

Key features

and end caps

(low magnetic signature)

Component Recognition

safety standard and

IEC 60079-11 intrinsic safety

standard

(class T3 assignment)

Non-assigned to Class 9

according to the UN

Recommendations on the

transport of dangerous goods

– Model Regulations

Main applications

Cell size reference

A

Electrical characteristics

(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max.)

Nominal capacity

3.6 Ah

(at 3 mA + 20°C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies

according to current drain, temperature and cut-off)

Open circuit voltage

(at + 20°C)

3.67 V

Nominal voltage

(at 0.3 mA + 20°C)

3.6 V

Nominal energy

12.96 Wh

Pulse capability: Typically up to 250 mA

(250 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged cells with 10 µA

base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V. The readings may vary according to the pulse

characteristics, the temperature, and the cell's previous history. Fitting the cell with a capacitor

may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)

Maximum recommended continuous current

100 mA

(Higher currents are possible. Consult Saft)

Storage

(recommended)

+ 30°C (+ 86°F) max

(for more severe conditions, consult Saft)

Operating temperature range

- 60°C/+ 85°C

(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and

(- 76°F/+ 185°F)

lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
