SAFT LS17500 3.6V 3600mAh Lithium Battery 12-Pack

12-pack lithium thionyl chloride cells

This 12-pack supplies SAFT LS17500 primary lithium batteries rated at 3.6 Volt and 3600 mAh each. The lithium thionyl chloride chemistry delivers high operating voltage that remains stable for most of the service life. Units are hermetically sealed with glass-to-metal construction and a non-flammable electrolyte. They suit industrial metering, remote sensors and memory-backup duties where long-term reliability is essential.

120 mA pulse capability

The single specification that decides fit is the pulse capability of typically 120 mA. Applications requiring higher peak currents will exceed this limit and risk voltage collapse or passivation. Devices drawing continuous loads well below 120 mA will operate within the cell's design envelope. Verify your circuit's maximum pulse demand before specifying these cells.

Stable voltage to 85 °C

Under sustained load the cells maintain nominal 3.6 Volt output across an operating range of -60 °C to +85 °C. Self-discharge stays below 1 % per year at 20 °C, preserving capacity during storage or intermittent use. The bobbin electrode design and hermetic seal resist humidity and passivation, supporting multi-year deployments without replacement. Capacity loss before use remains under 1 % at ambient temperature.
