Saft LSH 14 Lithium Battery – High Power 3.6V C-Cell

Saft LSH 14 Lithium Battery is a high-performance primary lithium cell specifically engineered for applications requiring high energy density combined with powerful pulse capability. As the C-size model in Saft’s renowned LSH range, this battery utilizes a robust spiral electrode construction to deliver consistent high current outputs where standard bobbin cells would struggle.

Description

Industrial and safety-critical applications often require a power source that is both long-lasting and capable of delivering immediate high power. The Saft LSH 14 Lithium Battery answers this need through its specialized internal design. Unlike standard lithium cells that prioritize low-current longevity, the LSH series features a spiral construction that significantly increases the electrode surface area. This allows the battery to sustain high continuous currents and deliver strong pulses necessary for data transmission and motor actuation.

Rugged and Safe Construction Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the LSH 14 is housed in a stainless steel container with hermetic glass-to-metal sealing. This construction ensures resistance to corrosion and prevents leakage, even in humid or corrosive atmospheres. The cell also features a non-flammable electrolyte and integrated safety vents, providing maximum safety for installation in sensitive or hazardous areas.

Reliable Long-Term Performance Despite its high power capability, the LSH 14 maintains a low self-discharge rate. This characteristic ensures a long shelf life and reliable start-up even after extended storage periods. Whether deployed in extreme heat or freezing cold, this battery delivers the stable voltage required for critical infrastructure and professional electronics.
