Primary lithium battery LO 40 SX 3.0 V Primary lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) High drain capability 2 /3 “Thin” D-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 Key features • Low self-discharge rate (less than 3 % after 1 year of storage at + 20ºC) • Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing • Built-in safety vent (at the negative end of the cell) • UL Component Recognition (File Number MH 15076) • Meets shock, vibration and other environmental requirements of military specifications • Restricted for transport (Class 9) • Made in the USA Cell size reference 2/3 “Thin” D Electrical characteristics (typical values for cells stored for one year or less) Nominal capacity (under 120 mA + 20ºC 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies according to current drain, temperature and cut-off) 3.50 Ah Open circuit voltage (at + 20ºC) 3.0 V Nominal voltage 2.8 V (at 120 mA + 20ºC) Maximum recommended continuous current (to avoid over-heating. Higher currents possible, consult Saft) 2.0 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) Operating temperature range (Short excursions up to + 85ºC possible at currents below 1 A) + 30ºC (+ 86ºF) max. - 60ºC/+ 85ºC (- 76ºF/+185ºF) - 60ºC/+ 70ºC (- 76ºF/+158ºF) Physical characteristics Diameter (max) 28.95 mm (1.140 in) Height (max; finish without radial tabs) 42.29 mm (1.665 in) Main applications Typical weight 40 g (1.41 oz) • Radiocommunications and other Li metal content 1.2 g military applications • Automotive telematics Standard cell comes with resin potting in the topshell area and two radial 0.15 mm - thick nickel tabs Other configurations available on request.
