Pulse capability: Typically up to 400 mA
(400 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)
Maximum recommended continuous current
(to maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower
level of maximum current and may request specific thermal protection.
Consult Saft)
Storage
(recommended)
(for more severe conditions, consult Saft)
250 mA
+ 30°C (+ 86°F) max
- 60°C/+ 85°C
(- 76°F/+ 185°F)
Operating temperature range
(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and
lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
