Primary lithium battery G 54/3 3.0 V Primary lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) High drain capability 5 ⁄4 C-size spiral cell Benefits • High and stable discharge voltage • High pulse capability • Performance not affected by cell orientation • Long storage possible before use • Ability to withstand extreme temperature Cell size reference (typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at +30ºC max.) Nominal capacity (at 0.2 A +20ºC 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies according to current drain, temperature and cut-off) Open circuit voltage (at +20ºC) Nominal voltage • Low self-discharge rate (less than 2 % after 1 year of storage at + 20ºC) • Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing • Built-in safety vent (at the negative end of the cell) • Restricted for transport (class 9) • Meets shock, vibration and other environmental requirements of military specifications • Made in UK Nominal energy • Radiocommunications and other military applications • Beacons and Emergency Location Transmitters • Sonobuoys • Life jacket lights • Professional electronics • Missiles February 2009 ⁄ 4 R14 - 5 ⁄ 4 C Electrical characteristics Key features Main applications 5 (at 0.5 A +20ºC) 5.0 Ah 3.0 V 2.8 V 14 Wh Maximum recommended continuous current (to avoid over-heating) 2.5 A Pulse capability: Typically up to 5 A. (The voltage 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) Storage (recommended) (possible without leakage) + 30ºC (+ 86ºF) max + 85ºC (+185ºF) max Operating temperature range (Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses.
