Primary lithium batteries Selector guide June 2004
Saft Lithium batteries meeting your needs… For more than 31 years, Saft has pioneered the development and production of primary lithium cells and battery packs in Europe, North America and Asia/Pacific. Autonomy, power, voltage, shape, weight, service life, price... Saft knows how to tailor battery solutions you can count on.
…exceeding your expectations The LS and LST cells are cylindrical and based on the high-energy concentric “bobbin” electrode configuration. They are available in standard and high capacity “C” versions, both adapted to low current applications. The LSX, LSH, G, LO and LM cells are also cylindrical but use the power-optimized “coiled” and “spiral” electrode constructions. The Li-SO2 cells are available in “SX” and “G” standard versions and in high pulse capability “SHX” versions.
Key features • High and stable operating voltage – Above 3 V for LS/LST/LSX/LSH cells. – Above 2 V for LO/G/LM cells. • Long shelf life Capacity loss in storage at +20°C below 1% (LS, LST, LM), 2% (LSX) and 3% (LSH, G, LO) per year. • Extended operating life • Wide current capability range From a few microamperes base current for the LM buttons and small LS/LST cells to more than 10 A pulses for some LO, G, and LM cells. Typically above 5 years, and up to 15 years for some applications.
