Primary lithium battery LO 35 SX 3.0 V Primary lithium- sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) High drain capability 2 /3 C-size spiral cell Benefits • High and stable discharge voltage • High pulse capability •Performance not affected by cell Cell size reference 2/3 C Electrical characteristics (typical values for cells stored for one year or less) orientation • Long storage possible before use • Ability to withstand extreme temperature • Non-restricted for transport Open circuit voltage (at + 20ºC) 3.0 V Nominal voltage 2.8 V Key features Maximum recommended continuous current (to avoid over-heating. Higher currents possible, consult Saft) • 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 • Made in the USA Main applications • Radiocommunications and other military applications Automotive telematics • Nominal capacity (under 650 mA + 20ºC 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies according to current drain, temperature and cut-off) (at 250 mA + 20ºC) 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) 25.9 mm (1.020 in) Height (max; finish without radial tabs) 35.9 mm (1.413 in) Typical weight 30 g (1.06 oz) Li metal content 0.8 g Standard cell comes with resin potting in the topshell area and two radial 0.15 mm - thick nickel tabs Other configurations available on request.
