The Saft LSH14

cylindriThe cal primary lithium cells are based on Lithium-Thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) chemistry and feature high surface area spiral electrodes for maximum current capability. The LSH14 is designed for applications requiring continuous currents in the 0.1-1.8 A range, with superimposed pulses as high as 4 A.

Compatible Part Numbers: 6135-01-421-1052, 6135-12-306-4125
