SAFT LS14500 3.6V AA Lithium Battery

Description

The SAFT LS14500 is a premium, non-rechargeable 3.6V Lithium-Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl₂) AA battery engineered for reliable long-term performance in demanding industrial and electronic applications.

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 LS14500 may be a suitable replacement for many 3.6 Volt Li-SOCl₂  AA batteries including:

• ER14500
• ER14505
• TL-2100
• TL-5903
• XL-060F

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.
