Saft LS and LSH Lithium Battery

Saft is a world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced technology batteries for industrial and defense applications. In fact, Saft pioneered the development and production of both primary lithium cells and lithium-ion technology and continues today to invest in the development of technologies and solutions that serve the evolving needs of its customers around the world.

Saft’s LS and LSH cylindrical primary lithium cell ranges, all based on Lithium-Thionyl chloride
(Li-SOCl₂) chemistry perfectly suits high-energy and high-voltage requirements in a wide range of temperatures.

The bobbin construction of the LS range enables the maximum loading of active materials and the corresponding maximum energy. With its remarkably low self-discharge, it perfectly matches long-term (from five to 20 years plus) applications featuring a few µA base currents and periodic pulses, typically in the 5-150 mA range.

The LSH range has a spiral construction and includes specific models that can operate at the very high temperatures found in oil and gas applications, for example. The cells are designed for applications requiring pulses as high as 4 A.
