Saft LSH 20-HTS Lithium Battery - High Temp 3.6V D-Cell

Description

Standard batteries often degrade rapidly when exposed to the high temperatures found in drilling operations or industrial processing. The Saft LSH 20-HTS Lithium Battery addresses this challenge directly. Part of Saft’s high-performance LSH range, this model features a specific internal design that maintains structural integrity and electrical performance when the mercury rises.

Uncompromising Power in Extreme Heat The “HTS” designation signifies its optimization for high-temperature stability. Unlike bobbin-type cells which are limited in current output, the LSH 20-HTS utilizes a spiral electrode construction. This maximizes the active surface area, enabling the battery to sustain high discharge currents and deliver strong pulses (up to 4 A) necessary for data transmission, even in deep wells or pipeline inspection gauges.

Safety and Durability by Design Reliability in remote or hazardous locations is non-negotiable. This cell is housed in a rugged stainless steel container with a hermetic glass-to-metal seal, ensuring it is impervious to leakage and corrosion. Combined with a non-flammable electrolyte and low self-discharge properties, the Saft LSH 20-HTS Lithium Battery provides a long operational life, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime in critical infrastructure.
