Saft LS 26500 Lithium Battery - High-Energy 3.6V Li-SOCl2 Primary Cell

Description

Saft LS 26500 Lithium Battery represents the benchmark for primary lithium cells in industrial applications. Saft’s LS range utilizes advanced Lithium-Thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) chemistry, which is renowned for its ability to maintain high voltage response even after long dormant periods.

The defining characteristic of the Saft LS 26500 Lithium Battery is its bobbin construction. Unlike spiral designs intended for high-current bursts, the bobbin structure focuses on maximizing the internal volume for active chemicals. This design philosophy delivers the highest possible capacity and energy density for a cell of this size.

This battery is specifically suited for low-drain devices that require occasional pulses. The chemical stability ensures that the battery retains its charge effectively, providing a service life that can span decades under optimal conditions. Whether deployed in remote metering equipment or critical sensing devices, the LS series ensures power availability when it matters most.
