Primary lithium batteries LO 30 SHX 3.0 V Primary lithium - sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) Very high drain and pulse capability “Thin” D - size spiral cell Benefits • High and stable discharge voltage • Superior 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 + 20°C) • Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing • Built-in safety vent (at the negative end of the cell) • Restricted for transport (class 9) • UL Component Recognition (File Number MH 15076) • Meets shock, vibration and other environmental requirements of military specifications • Made in the USA Main applications • Radiocommunications and other military applications • Beacons and Emergency Location Transmitters • Sonobuoys October 2005 Cell size reference “Thin” D Electrical characteristics (typical values for cells stored for one year or less) Nominal capacity (at 0.2 A + 20°C 2.0 V cut off. The capacity restored by the cell varies according to current drain, temperature and cut off) 5.75 Ah Open circuit voltage (at + 20°C) 3.0 V Nominal voltage 2.8 V (at 0.6 A + 21°C/+70°F) Maximum recommended continuous current (to avoid over-heating. Higher currents possible, consult Saft) 3A Pulse capability : Typically up to 10 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 + 30°C (+ 86°F) max - 60°C/+ 85°C (-76°F/+185°F) - 60°C/+70°C (-76°F/+158°F) (Short excursions up to + 85°C possible at currents below 1 A) Physical characteristics Diameter (max) 29.1 mm (1.14 in) Height (max; finish with radial tabs) 59.9 mm (2.36 in) Typical weight Li metal content Standard cell comes with resin potting in the topshell area and two radial 0.15 mm - thick nickel tabs Different configurations available on request. 63 g (2.21 oz) 1.9 g Cell voltage (V) LO 30 SHX Current (A) Cell voltage (V) Voltage at mid-discharge versus Current and Temperature (2.0 V cut off) Overall dimensions Capacity (Ah) Typical discharge profiles at + 20ºC Handling precautions • Cell is pressurised. • Do not obstruct the safety vent mechanism. • Do not short circuit or charge.
