Rechargeable AA-size Li-SOCl2 battery Elgato ER14505 3.6V 2600mAh

Elgato ER14505 is a rechargeable AA-size lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) cylindrical cell rated at 3.6V and 2600mAh. Designed for devices that require a higher single-cell voltage than standard NiMH/NiCd AA batteries, this cell delivers extended runtime and stable voltage under low-drain and occasional-use conditions. Its AA form factor makes it compatible with housings and battery holders that accept 3.6V AA-format cells, while the chemistry provides long shelf life and low self-discharge compared with conventional lithium-ion or alkaline alternatives.

Advantages

The Elgato ER14505 combines a high nominal voltage with a substantial 2600mAh capacity to provide longer continuous operation for equipment designed for 3.6V AA cells. Its Li-SOCl2 chemistry supports low self-discharge and reliable performance over long storage periods. The battery maintains a steady voltage under typical load conditions and is suitable for devices that need dependable backup or intermittent power without frequent replacement. In addition, the AA-size cylindrical design simplifies installation in standard battery compartments built for 3.6V cells.

Suitable for

• Memory backup modules and CMOS/RTC backup
• Industrial sensors, meters and data loggers
• Security and alarm systems with 3.6V AA sockets
• Portable electronic devices designed for Li-SOCl2 AA cells
• Low- to moderate-drain instrumentation and telemetry

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 3.6 V
• Rated capacity: 2600 mAh
• Cell format: AA-size cylindrical
• Chemistry: Lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2)
• Typical application profile: low to moderate continuous drain, long standby

How to use

Install the Elgato ER14505 in devices that specify a 3.6V AA-format Li-SOCl2 cell, observing correct polarity. Ensure battery holders and contacts are clean and free of corrosion to maintain good electrical connection. Use the battery in equipment whose charging or replacement procedures are compatible with non-rechargeable or primary Li-SOCl2 chemistry; if the cell is specified as rechargeable by the manufacturer, follow device-specific charging instructions. Store unused cells in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight.

Usage recommendations

Do not attempt to charge or modify the cell unless the device and battery are explicitly rated for rechargeable Li-SOCl2 use; improper charging can cause safety hazards. Replace cells in matched sets for multi-cell packs and dispose of used batteries according to local regulations for lithium-containing cells. For optimal performance, use the battery within the device’s recommended temperature range and avoid prolonged exposure to high current drains beyond the device’s specification.
