(at 50 mA +20°C 2.0 V cut off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut off)
Open circuit voltage (at +20°C)
3.0 V
2.8 V
Nominal voltage
(at 0.03 A +20°C)
Key features
Continuous current permitting 50% of the nominal capacity to be achieved
at +20ºC with 2.0 V cut off.
Low self-discharge rate
(less than 3% after 1 year of
storage at +20ºC)
•
0.25 A
Pulse capability : Typically up to 0.4 A.
(The voltage readings may vary according to the pulse characteristics,
the temperature and the cell’s previous history. Fitting the cell with a
capacitor may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing
Built-in safety vent

Storage
(recommended)
(possible without leakage)
+30°C (+86°F) max
+85°C (+185°F) max
(at the negative end of the cell)
Meets shock, vibration and other
environmental requirements of
military specifications
•
Operating temperature range
(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and lower
voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
