Product Identity

The Saft LSH14 is a 3.6 V C-size lithium thionyl chloride cell delivering 5.8 Ah of primary energy in a single-button-top unit. It suits engineers and technicians powering remote sensors, utility meters, memory-backup circuits or industrial data loggers that demand multi-year operation without maintenance.

Compatibility Check

Verify that the host device accepts a 26 mm diameter by 50 mm height cell with button-top termination and a nominal 3.6 V output. The application must tolerate a non-rechargeable chemistry and a maximum recommended continuous current of 1300 mA with pulse capability to 2000 mA. Cross-reference the listed equivalents such as ER26500 or TL-4920 to confirm mechanical and electrical fit before ordering.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous drain the voltage remains stable for most of the service life while the low self-discharge rate preserves capacity during storage. The cell operates reliably from -60 °C to +85 °C and resists humid environments with less than one percent capacity loss per year at ambient temperature. The inorganic electrolyte is non-flammable and non-pressurised at room temperature, though it is corrosive if the hermetic seal is breached.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use the SAFT LSH14?

The package contains one C-size lithium thionyl chloride cell with a button top terminal. No charger, holder or additional accessories are included; the battery is non-rechargeable and ready to install in compatible equipment.

Which capacity version of the LSH14 should I select for a device that requires 5.8 Ah at 3.6 V?

This model is the single 5.8 Ah (5800 mAh) version; there are no alternative capacities listed for the LSH14, so choose this one when the application calls for that rating.

What does the 1300 mA maximum continuous current mean when the cell powers a real circuit?

The cell can safely supply up to 1300 mA continuously; loads drawing more than that should be avoided, while short pulses up to 2000 mA are permissible within the specified temperature range of -60 °C to +85 °C.
