SAFT LS14500 Lithium Battery AA 3.6V

SAFT LS14500 Lithium Battery AA 3.6V

The Saft LS14500 lithium battery is a high-performance AA-size lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) battery designed for long-lasting and reliable power in demanding applications. With a nominal voltage of 3.6V and a high capacity of approximately 2600mAh, this battery is widely used in industrial, medical, and IoT systems where stability and longevity are critical.

Manufactured by Saft Groupe S.A., a globally recognized leader in advanced battery technology, the LS14500 is engineered for extreme conditions and long service life. Its lithium-thionyl chloride chemistry provides exceptionally high energy density and a very low self-discharge rate, allowing the battery to retain power for up to 10 years or more during storage.

Unlike standard AA batteries (1.5V), this 3.6V lithium cell is designed specifically for professional equipment and should only be used in compatible devices. It delivers a stable output voltage throughout most of its lifespan, making it ideal for critical systems that require consistent and uninterrupted power.

The LS14500 battery is also known for its wide operating temperature range, typically from -60°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments such as outdoor monitoring systems, industrial automation, and remote sensing devices.

Its standard AA (14500) cylindrical size allows easy integration into many devices, while variants with solder tabs or pins are available for permanent installation in embedded systems.
