SAFT LS14250 3.6V 1/2AA Lithium Battery

Description

The SAFT LS14250 is a premium, non-rechargeable 3.6V lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) 1/2 AA battery designed for dependable, long-term operation in industrial and professional electronic equipment.

Its high energy density, stable operating voltage, and exceptionally low self-discharge make it ideal for applications with low continuous power requirements and occasional pulses. Typical service life can range from 5 to more than 20 years, depending on current draw, temperature, pulse requirements, and device cut-off voltage.

Cross-Reference and Compatibility

The LS14250 may be suitable as a replacement for the following 3.6V Li-SOCl₂ 1/2 AA battery models:

• ER14250
• TL-2150
• TL-5902
• XL-050F

Important: Verify the battery dimensions, terminal configuration, continuous-current requirements, and pulse-current requirements before substituting batteries. Equivalent size and voltage do not guarantee compatibility with every device.
