SAFT LS17330 (ER17730) 3.6V 2100mAh 2/3 A Lithium 8-Pack

SKU CH-B0A0-KR00M

Eight lithium thionyl chloride 2/3 A cells deliver 3.6 V and 2100 mAh each for long-life industrial power

  • Battery type2/3 A
  • High 3.66 V open-circuit voltage from Li-SOCI2 chemistry
  • 2100 mAh nominal capacity for long runtime in 2/3 A size
  • Operates from -60 °C to +85 °C with stable output
  • Less than 1 % self-discharge per year at 20 °C
  • Hermetic glass-to-metal seal and UL-approved non-flammable electrolyte

Eight-cell 3.6 V lithium pack

This eight-pack supplies SAFT LS17330 primary lithium-thionyl-chloride cells rated at 3.6 V and 2100 mAh each. The 2/3 A form factor suits utility metering, alarm panels, tracking beacons and other low-duty-cycle industrial electronics that demand multi-year service intervals.

Steady low-current delivery

Rated for a continuous 1 mA drain with pulse capability typically up to 120 mA, the cells hold a stable nominal voltage through most of their discharge curve. Self-discharge stays below 1 % per year at 20 °C, so installed units retain usable capacity after extended storage or standby periods.

Hermetic bobbin construction

Concentric bobbin electrodes and glass-to-metal sealing create a non-pressurised, non-flammable package that operates from -60 °C to +85 °C. The 16.5 mm by 33.4 mm cylindrical outline fits standard 2/3 A holders, while UL recognition (BBCV2, MH30127) supports compliance in regulated installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride chemistry generate heat during continuous low-current operation?

The non-flammable electrolyte and hermetic glass-to-metal seal keep the cell stable; self-discharge is below 1% per year at 20°C, so heat build-up is negligible during long-term use.

What device or holder accepts the 16.5 mm diameter by 33.4 mm height 2/3 A form factor?

Any holder or PCB footprint designed for ½ AA / 2/3 A size (16.5 mm × 33.4 mm) will accept these cells; verify polarity and voltage compatibility before installing.

Can these 3.6V cells replace older 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride batteries in legacy metering or alarm equipment?

Yes — the nominal 3.6V, 2100 mAh capacity and -60°C to +85°C operating range match standard 2/3 A Li-SOCl₂ specifications used in many older industrial devices.
