Saft LS 33600 Lithium Battery – 3.6V High Energy D-Cell

Saft LS 33600 Lithium Battery is a high-energy, D-size primary cell engineered for applications requiring reliable, long-term autonomous power. Utilizing advanced Lithium-Thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) chemistry, this battery provides the highest energy density among primary lithium technologies, making it the preferred choice for utility metering and professional electronics.

Description

Industrial engineers and procurement specialists rely on the Saft LS 33600 Lithium Battery when longevity and stability are non-negotiable. Unlike spiral-wound cells designed for high pulses, the LS 33600 features a bobbin construction that maximizes the loading of active materials. This design choice results in exceptional capacity retention and energy density, allowing your equipment to operate for decades without battery replacement.

Unmatched Stability and Reliability The chemical composition of this cell ensures a high and stable operating voltage of 3.6 V, which remains consistent throughout the vast majority of its discharge cycle. This stability allows for precise calibration of sensitive instruments such as gas and water meters. Furthermore, the battery exhibits an extremely low self-discharge rate, ensuring that the energy is preserved during storage or long standby periods.

Built for Harsh Environments Saft has engineered the LS 33600 to withstand the rigors of industrial deployment. The cell is housed in a rugged stainless steel container with hermetic glass-to-metal sealing, providing superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion and leakage. Whether installed in outdoor utility cabinets or remote monitoring stations, this battery delivers consistent performance across a wide temperature range.
