Primary lithium batteries
LS 9 V
Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl
2
)
High energy density
Battery pack
A prismatic battery pack for a wide
range of applications requesting
low base currents combined with
superimposed pulses. The LS 9 V
version yields good voltage readings
in a wide T range (- 60°C to + 85°C).

(and UL-recognized)
cells connected in series
Component cells with stainless
steel container and hermetic
glass-to-metal sealing
Plastic sleeve for battery housing
Miniature snap-on terminals
Non-flammable electrolyte
Non-restricted for transport
Pulse capability: Typically up to
(0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged
cells with 10 µA base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V.
The readings may vary according to the pulse characteristics, the
temperature, and the cell’s previous history. Fitting the cell with a
capacitor may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
