Electrical characteristics

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

Nominal capacity 13.0 Ah

(at 15 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 2 mA + 20°C) 3.6 V

Pulse capability: Typically up to 4000 mA

(4000 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 1800 mA

(to maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower

level of maximum current and may request specific thermal protection.

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. Operation with

current continuously above 1 A may restrict upper T range. Consult Saft)

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.
