Primary lithium batteries LO 26 SXC 3.0 V Primary lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) High capacity, 9.2 Ah High drain D-size cell Key features ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Enhanced capacity High and stable discharge voltage Performance not affected by cell orientation 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) Meets shock, vibration and other environmental requirements of military specifications Made in the USA Cell size reference Electrical characteristics (typical values for cells stored for one year or less) Nominal capacity (at 250 mA + 20°C 2.0 V cut off. The capacity restored by the cell varies according to current drain, temperature and cut off). ● ● ● ● Radiocommunications and other military applications Beacons and Emergency Location Transmitters Sonobuoys Missiles etc... 3.0 V Nominal voltage 2.8 V (at 0.5 A + 20°C) Maximum recommended continuous current (to avoid over-heating. Higher currents possible, consult Saft). 2.5 A Pulse capability : Up to 10 A. Varies according to pulse characteristics (frequency, duration), temperature, cell history (storage conditions prior to usage) and the application’s acceptable minimum voltage. Consult Saft. (recommended) (possible without leakage) Operating temperature range + 30°C /+ 86°F max – 60°C (– 76°F) / + 85°C (+ 185°F) – 60°C (– 76°F) / + 71°C (+ 160°F) (Short excursions up to 85°C possible at currents below 1 A).
