LS 9 V Primary lithium battery Primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) 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). Main applications Memory back-up Alarm and security devices ■■ Smoke detectors ■■ Alarm equipment ■■ Industrial electronics ■■ Medical equipment ■■ ■■ Key features ack assembled from three ½ AA-sized P (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 ■■ Benefits High voltage, stable during most of the application’s lifetime ■■ Wide operating temperature range ■■ Low self-discharge rate (less than 1% per year of storage at + 20°C) ■■ Easy integration into compact systems ■■ Pack construction Pack designation Part number Electrical characteristics* Nominal capacity (at 1 mA, + 20°C, 6.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the battery pack varies according to current drain, temperature and cut-off) Open circuit voltage (at + 20°C) Nominal voltage (at + 20°C and 0.1 mA) 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 9.0 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 (Higher currents possible, consult Saft) Storage (recommended) (For more severe conditions, consult Saft) Storage ■■ The storage area should be clean, cool (preferably not exceeding + 30°C), dry and ventilated. Warning Fire, explosion and burn hazard. Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), incinerate, or expose contents to water. ■■ Do not solder directly to the battery pack. ■■ ■■ Operating temperature range (Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft) Typical weight Lithium metal content * Typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max. 3 LS 14250 in series LS 9 V 0095-567-019 1.2 Ah (1.0 mA) 11.0 V 10.8 V 100 mA 35 mA + 30°C (+ 86°F) max - 60°C/+ 85°C (- 76°F/+ 185°F) 29 g (1 oz) approx. 0.9 g Voltage plateau versus current and temperature (at mid-discharge) 12.0 46.3 ± 0.5 26.3 ± 0.5 15.95 ± 0.4 Battery pack voltage (V) 11.5 48.6 ± 0.5 11.0 10.5 10.0 9.5 9.0 8.5 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 + 40ºC 6.0 0.1 + 20ºC 1 - 20ºC - 40ºC 10 Current (mA) 12.7 ± 0.1 Dimensions in mm. 0ºC 100 Typical discharge profile at + 20°C 12.0 1 mA Battery pack voltage (V) 11.5 5 mA 10 mA 20 mA 35 mA 11.0 10.5 10.0 9.5 9.0 8.5 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 Time (hours) 1000 10000 Restored capacity versus current and temperature (6.0 V cut-off) 1.3 1.2 1.1 Capacity (Ah) 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 + 40ºC 0.1 + 20ºC 0ºC - 20ºC - 40ºC 0 0.1 1 Current (mA) 10 100 Doc No.: 31080-2-0214 Edition: February 2014 Saft Specialty Battery Group 12, rue Sadi Carnot 93170 Bagnolet - France Tel.:+33 1 49 93 19 18 Fax:+33 1 49 93 19 69 www.saftbatteries.com Information in this document is subject to change without notice and becomes contractual only after written confirmation by Saft.
