Primary lithium battery
LS 33600
3.6 V Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2)
High energy
D-size bobbin cell
Benefits
Cell size references
D
l High voltage response, stable
during most of the lifetime of the
application
Electrical characteristics
(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max.)
l Wide operating temperature
range (-60°C/85°C)
l Easy integration in compact
system
l Low self-discharge rate
(less than 1 % after 1 year of
storage at + 20°C)
Nominal capacity
17.0 Ah
(at 5 mA + 20°C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut-off)

3.6 V
(at 0.7 mA + 20°C)
61.2 Wh
Pulse capability: Typically up to 400 mA
(400 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged cells with 10 µA
base current, yield voltage readings above 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
may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
Key features
l Stainless steel container
l Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing
l Built-in safety vent
l Finish with or without flat
positive end
Maximum recommended continuous current
250 mA
(to maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower
level of maximum current and may request specific thermal protection.
Consult Saft)
l Non-flammable electrolyte
l Compliant with IEC 60086-4
safety standard and
Storage
