SAFT BA5390

Primary lithium battery system
BA 5390/U
12 V Primary lithium manganese dioxide (Li-MnO2) battery
The battery consists of 10 LM 33550
cells connected in 2 groups of 5 cells in
series providing 2 nominal 12 V sections
at connector. These sections can be
connectedin series (for 24 V) in parallel
(for 12 V), or used as two separate 12 V
units.
Key Features
■■ A non-replaceable fuse is
incorporated in the negative leg of
each series group of cells
■■ A normally closed high temperature
switch or thermal fuse is incorporated
into each series leg of cells
■■ Internal series string short circuit
protection incorporated into each leg
of the battery
■■ A diode is incorporated into the
positive leg of each series group of
cells to prevent charging or flow of
current into the battery
■■ A device consisting of a manually
activated switch and resistors
designed to discharge the battery to 0
V is built into the battery (optional)
■■ Optional design with push button state
of charge indicator is available
Typical applications
■■ AN/PRC-104 Radio
■■ AN/PRC-113 Radio
■■ AN/PRC-117 Radio
■■ AN/PRC-119 Sincgards Radio
■■ KY-57, KY-65 Encryption set
■■ REMBASS Remotely monitored
battlefield surveillance system
■■ PLRS position locator and reporting
system
■■ RT-991 buoy radio
■■ RT-1175 buoy radio
■■ AN/TAS-4A TOW night sight
