environments.
Key features
Cell size references
UM1 – R20 – D
ꢀ High and stable operating voltage
Electrical characteristics
ꢀ Low self-discharge rate
(less than 1% after 1 year of
storage at + 20°C)
ꢀ Stainless steel construction
ꢀ Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing
ꢀ Built-in safety vent
ꢀ Non-flammable electrolyte
ꢀ Restricted for transport (Class 9)
ꢀ Typical magnetic signatures:
200 nT (2 mGauss) at 6 mm
10 nT (0.1 mGauss) at 127 mm
3 nT (0.03 mGauss) at 300 mm
(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max.)
Nominal capacity
17.0 Ah
(at 5 mA +20°C 2.0V cut off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut off).
Open circuit voltage
Nominal voltage
(at + 20°C)
3.67V
3.6V
(at 0.7mA + 20°C)
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 3.0V. 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)
Main applications
