Primary lithium battery LS 17500 3.6 V Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl ) 2 High energy density A-size bobbin cell Benefits Cell size reference A High voltage response, stable during most of the lifetime of Electrical characteristics the application (typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30C max.) Wide operating temperature Nominal capacity 3.6 Ah range (- 60/+ 85C) (at 3 mA + 20C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies Low self-discharge rate according to current drain, temperature and cut-off) (less than 1 % after 1 year of Open circuit voltage (at + 20C) 3.67 V storage at + 20C) Nominal voltage (at 0.3 mA + 20C) 3.6 V Easy integration into compact Nominal energy 12.96 Wh systems Pulse capability: Typically up to 250 mA Superior resistance to (250 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20C from undischarged cells with 10 A atmospheric corrosion 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.
