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
