Battery AA Lithium SAFT LS14500 3.6V single cell

SAFT LS14500 is a single AA-size lithium cell with a nominal voltage of 3.6V, supplied as one battery for devices that require long shelf life and stable discharge. Designed for use in low- to medium-drain equipment, this battery offers consistent voltage over long periods and maintains performance in a wide temperature range. It is suitable for instrumentation, utility meters, sensors, and memory backup applications where standard alkaline cells may not deliver the necessary longevity or reliability.

Advantages

The AA lithium cell provides a higher energy density and longer shelf life compared with typical alkaline AA batteries, delivering stable voltage during discharge and low self-discharge in storage. Its chemistry supports reliable operation across a wide temperature span, and the single-cell supply simplifies replacement and inventory for devices that accept a single AA lithium cell. The cell construction minimizes leakage risk and supports consistent performance in demanding or intermittent-use applications.

Suitable for

• Portable instrumentation and test equipment
• Utility meters and metering devices
• Environmental and industrial sensors
• Backup memory and real-time clock modules
• Low- to medium-drain electronic devices

Key specifications

• Cell size: AA (single cell)
• Chemistry: lithium (manganese dioxide-based typical for this type)
• Nominal voltage: 3.6 V
• Form factor: cylindrical single cell
• Designed for long shelf life and low self-discharge
• Operating temperature range: wide tolerance for cold and warm environments
• Suitable for low- to medium-drain applications and intermittent use

How to use

Install the AA lithium cell into the device following the polarity markings; ensure correct orientation to prevent damage. Use this single 3.6V cell in devices designed to accept AA-sized lithium cells or specified for 3.6V single-cell operation. Replace the cell when the device indicates low battery or when runtime no longer meets expected performance. Store unused cells in a cool, dry place and keep them away from metal objects to avoid short circuits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, verify device compatibility with a 3.6V AA lithium cell before installation. Avoid mixing this lithium cell with other cell chemistries in multi-cell compartments. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and recycling programs to minimize environmental impact.
