Primary lithium battery LSH 20 3.6 V Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl ) 2 High power D-size spiral cell Benefits Cell size references UM1 R20 D High voltage response, stable during Electrical characteristics most of the lifetime of the application High drain/pulse capability (typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30C max.) Wide operating temperature range Nominal capacity 13.0 Ah (-60C/+85C) (at 15 mA +20C 2.0 V cut off. The capacity restored by the cell varies Easy integration into compact according to current drain, temperature and cut off) systems Open circuit voltage (at + 20C) 3.67 V Low self-discharge rate Nominal voltage (at 2 mA + 20C) 3.6 V (less than 3% after 1 year of storage Pulse capability: Typically up to 4000 mA at +20C) (4000 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20C from undischarged cells with 10 A base current, yield voltage readings above Key features 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 Stainless steel container may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft) Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing Maximum recommended continuous current 1800 mA Built-in safety vent (to maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower Finish with 5 A fuse level of maximum current and may request specific thermal protection. Consult Saft) Non-flammable electrolyte Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Storage (recommended) + 30C (+ 86F) max (for more severe conditions, consult Saft) Component Recognition (File Number MH 12609) Operating temperature range - 60C/+85C (Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and (- 76F/+ 185F) Restricted for transport (Class 9) lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Operation with current continuously above 1 A may restrict upper T range.
