Saft LSP 14500-20F Lithium Battery High Pulse | AA Size

Description

The Saft LSP 14500-20F Lithium Battery represents a significant advancement in primary battery technology, specifically designed to support the rapidly growing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sector. Standard lithium batteries can sometimes suffer from passivation—a phenomenon that causes a temporary voltage drop when a sudden high current is drawn after a long period of inactivity. The LSP range solves this by integrating a specific parallel capacitor element.

This hybrid construction allows the battery to deliver the high voltage response necessary for wireless data transmission without lag, even in extreme temperatures. The bobbin construction of the Li-SOCl2 cell ensures maximum active material loading, resulting in exceptional energy density, while the capacitor handles the peak power demands.

Furthermore, the cell features a stainless steel container and hermetic glass-to-metal sealing, ensuring robust protection against leakage and environmental factors. With a self-discharge rate that is extremely low, this battery is perfectly suited for “fit and forget” applications where maintenance or battery replacement is difficult and costly.
