Benefits
Cell size references
UM3 - R20 - D
ꢀ High voltage response, stable during
Electrical characteristics
most of the lifetime of the application
ꢀ Superior voltage response during
pulsing at ambient T
(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at +30°C max.)
Nominal capacity
18.5 Ah
ꢀ Easy integration in compact system
ꢀ Low self-discharge rate
(at 1 mA +20°C 2.0 V cut off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut off)
(less than 3% after 1 year of storage
at +20°C)

3.67 V
3.6 V
(at 0.7 mA +20°C)
Pulse capability: Typically up to 250 mA.
Key features
(250 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)

Operating temperature range
(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and
lower voltage plateau readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
