Primary lithium battery LS 26500 3.6 V Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl ) 2 High energy density C-size bobbin cell Benefits Cell size references C l High voltage response, stable Electrical characteristics during most of the lifetime of the application (typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30C max.) l Wide operating temperature Nominal capacity 7.7 Ah range (-60C/+85C) (at 4 mA +20C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies l 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 0.5 mA + 20C) 3.6 V l Easy integration into compact Nominal energy 27.72 Wh systems l Superior resistance to Pulse capability: Typically up to 300 mA (300 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 cells previous history. Fitting the cell with a capacitor Key features may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft) l Stainless steel container Maximum recommended continuous current 150 mA (Higher currents possible, consult Saft) and end caps (low magnetic signature) Storage (recommended) +30C (+86F) max (for more severe conditions, consult Saft) l Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing l Non-flammable electrolyte Operating temperature range - 60C/+85C (Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and (- 76F/+185F) l Underwriters Laboratories (UL) lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses.
