Product Datasheet/Brochure

Enclosed data relates to batteries aged up to 12 months and properly stored. Consult Saft regarding
specific pulse conditions or usage following prolonged storage and/or exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Nominal capacity at +20ºC and 2 V discharge cut-off (continuous current).
- Maximum recommended pulse current: varies according to pulse characteristics (duration, frequency),
temperature conditions, cell storage conditions prior to usage and the application’s acceptable minimum
voltage. The use of parallel capacitor to enhance the voltage at the beginning of pulses might be
recommended. Consult Saft.
- Transport status: according to UN Model Regulations Ref. ST/SG/AC.10/1 Revision 15 (2007) and
Manual of Tests and Criteria Ref. ST/SG/AC.10/11 Revision 4, 2003.

Saft is committed to the highest standards of environmental stewardship.
Implementing this commitment to minimise the impact of its products and operations on the environment means that
Saft gives priority to recycled over unrecycled raw materials, reduces its plant releases into the environment year after
year, minimizes water usage, and ensures that its customers have recycling solutions for their batteries at the end of their lives.
Regarding industrial Ni-Cd batteries, Saft has had partnerships for many years with collection companies in most EU countries as
well as in North America. This collection network receives and dispatches our customers’ batteries at the end of their lives to fully
approved recycling facilities, in compliance with the Laws governing transboundary waste shipments. Saft offers these services
free of charge to its customers.
Please find a list of our collection points on our web site: www.saftbatteries.com
In other countries, Saft assists its customers in finding environmentally sound recycling solutions. Please contact your sales
representative for further information.

Saft primary lithium batteries: applications
STD without tabs
(BA in the USA)
LM/M spirals
LS small bobbins
(½ AA, AA,²/
³
A, A)
LS large bobbins
(C, D)
LSH spirals
LO/G spirals
The LS cells are cylindrical and
based on the high-energy concentric
“bobbin” electrode configuration.
They are available in standard and
“W” versions according to the elevated
temperature characteristics of the
envisioned applications.
The LSH, LO/G and LM/M cells
are also cylindrical but use the
power-optimized “coiled” and “spiral”
electrode constructions. The Li-SO
2
cells are available in several versions:
“SX” and “G” series, “SHX” high pulse
capability series and “SXC” high
capacity series.
Corrosion-proof containers,
hermetic sealing based on rugged
glass-to-metal seals and TIG or
laser welds, built-in safety vents and
individual protection fuses are design
features common to most of Saft’s
lithium cells.
The LS, LSH, LO/G and LM/M
cells are available as single units
(with different optional finishes) or
assembled within battery packs.
Whatever your application, you
will probably find a Saft lithium
battery able to meet your particular
requirements. If not, custom-made
solutions can be developed within
your time-to-market constraints.
