Nominal capacity
(at 2 mA + 20
°C
2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut-off)
Open circuit voltage

Nominal energy
Pulse capability: Typically up to 250 mA
(250 mA/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)
