Description
Saft LSH 14 “Light” Lithium Battery – 3.6V Li-SOCl₂ C-Size High Power Cell
The Saft LSH 14 “Light” Lithium Battery is a high-power, primary Lithium-Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl₂) cell engineered for demanding applications where reliability, compact size, and performance in extreme conditions are essential. With a 3.6 V nominal voltage and 3.6 Ah capacity, this C-size spiral cell delivers stable high voltage, excellent pulse capability up to 2000 mA, and long-lasting performance.
Designed for military-grade, industrial, and professional equipment, the LSH 14 Light battery operates across a wide temperature range (-60°C to +85°C), making it ideal for mission-critical environments such as defense, emergency signaling, GPS, and metering systems. Its stainless steel container, hermetic sealing, and built-in safety vent ensure durability, safety, and easy system integration.
This cell is non-restricted for transport, offers low self-discharge (<3% per year at 20°C), and integrates easily into compact systems, making it a trusted power source for high-drain and pulsed load applications.
