LM 17500 Primary Li-MnO2 cell 3 V lithium manganese dioxide A-size spiral cell Saft’s LM 17500 cell is ideally suited for applications requiring high energy and long operating life, with stable voltage under high discharge rates in –40°C / +85°C environment. Benefits ■■ High drain/ high pulse capability ■■ High voltage response, stable during most of the lifetime of the application even after long dormant periods ■■ High capacity at high current and low temperature ■■ Low self discharge compatible with long operating life (less than 1% after 1 year of storage at +20°C) ■■ Superior resistance to corrosion ■■ Low magnetic signature Key Features Electrical characteristics (Typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at +30°C max) Nominal capacity (at 30mA +20°C 2.0V cut-off)1 Open circuit voltage (at +20°C) Nominal voltage (under 1mA at +20°C) Nominal energy (at 30mA +20°C 2.0V cut-off) Pulse capability2 Recommended maximum continuous current Operating temperature range3 Storage temperatures Recommended Allowable4 Designed to meet all major quality, safety and environment standards Termination Typical Applications ■■ Utility metering ■■ Alarms and security ■■ Tracking systems ■■ GSM/GPRS communication ■■ Radio communications systems ■■ Medical devices 1.5 A Operating conditions ■■ Spiral construction ■■ Hermetic construction with glass to metal seal ■■ Stainless steel container ■■ Integrated safety vent ■■ Non corrosive electrolyte ■■ Non pressurized at room temperature ■■ Non restricted for transport ■■ RoHS and REACH compliant ■■ Made in USA ■■ Safety: UL 1642 and IEC 60086-4 ■■ ATEX: Compliant with IEC 60079-11 (T4 rating at +70°C) ■■ Transport: UN 3090 and UN 3091 ■■ Quality: ISO 9001, Saft World Class Continuous program 3.0 Ah 3.2 V 3.0 V 8.7 Wh up to 2.0 A -40°C to +85°C +30°C -55°C to +90°C Physical characteristics Diameter (max) Height (max) Typical weight Li metal content Available termination suffix CN, CNR 3 PF, 3 PF RP, 4 PF, 2 PF FL Other configurations upon request 17.5 mm 51.5 mm approx. 28 g 1.0 g max radial tabs radial pins flying leads Dependent upon current drain, temperature and cut-off. Dependent upon pulse characteristics, temperature, cell history and application. Higher rates are available under certain circumstances 3 To maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower level of maximum current and may require specific thermal protection. Consult Saft. 4 Long time storage at high temperature may affect performances.
