Meter lithium battery LS 14250 MLB 3.6 V high energy primary Li-SOCl battery 2 for utility meters in demanding environments Benefits Easy integration into utility meters High voltage, stable during most Electrical characteristics of the applications lifetime (typical values relative to batteries stored for one year or less at + 30C max.) Wide operating temperature range Nominal capacity 1.10 Ah Low self-discharge rate (at 1 mA + 20C 2.0 V cut off. The capacity restored by the battery varies (less than 1% per year of storage according to current drain, temperature and cut off) at +20C) Open circuit voltage (at + 20C) 3.67 V Nominal voltage (at 0.1 mA + 20C) 3.6 V Key features 1 Pulse capability: Typically up to 100 mA /2 AA lithium-thionyl chloride (100 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20C from undischarged LS 14250 component cell battery with 10 A base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V. The readings Battery with ABS plastic may vary according to the pulse characteristics, the temperature, and the battery previous history.) enclosure Component cell with: Continuous current permitting 50% of the nominal capacity to be achieved at + 20C with 2.0 V cut off. 40 mA - Stainless steel container (Higher currents are possible, consult Saft) - Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing Storage (recommended) + 30C (+ 86F) max - Non-flammable electrolyte (for more severe conditions, consult Saft) - Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Component Recognition Operating temperature range - 60C/+ 85C (Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and (- 76F/+ 185F) Battery non-restricted lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft) for transport Physical characteristics Main applications Diameter (max) 16.8 mm (0.66 in) Utility metering Height (max) 28.6 mm (1.12 in) Automatic meter reading Typical weight 15 g (0.5 oz) Alarms and security devices Memory back-up Li metal content approx. 0.3 g Professional electronics August 2006LS 14250 MLB battery Current (mA) Voltage plateau versus Current and Temperature (at mid-discharge) Dimensions in mm. Time (hours) Typical discharge profiles at + 20C Storage The storage area should be clean, cool (preferably not exceeding +30C), dry and ventilated. Warning Fire, explosion and burn hazard. Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100C (212F), incinerate, or expose contents to water.
