Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery SAFT LS14250 (3.6 V, 1/2 AA) single cell

SAFT LS14250 is a single-cell lithium thionyl chloride battery with a nominal voltage of 3.6 V in a 1/2 AA format. Manufactured by SAFT and identified by MPN BAT-LS14250 and EAN 5902887020407, this cell is intended for long-term power in applications that require low-current, long-life energy sources. The chemistry offers low self-discharge and a wide temperature tolerance suitable for memory backups, metering equipment, sensors, tracking devices and various industrial electronics.

Advantages

The SAFT LS14250 provides a stable nominal voltage of 3.6 V and characteristics of lithium thionyl chloride chemistry that enable very low self-discharge rates over long storage periods. Its 1/2 AA size balances compact form factor with usable capacity for extended low-current applications. The cell is designed for reliable performance across a wide temperature range and for applications where long service life and minimal maintenance are required.

Suitable for

• Non-rechargeable memory backup modules and RTC (real-time clock) circuits
• Utility metering devices and smart meters
• Environmental and industrial sensors with low average current draw
• Asset tracking devices and remote monitoring equipment
• Embedded electronics in industrial automation and safety systems

How to use

Install the SAFT LS14250 cell in the device following the manufacturer’s polarity markings and device instructions. This battery is intended for primary (non-rechargeable) use; do not attempt to recharge. For circuit design, allow for the nominal 3.6 V voltage and the expected discharge profile of lithium thionyl chloride chemistry when calculating load and end-of-life thresholds. Use appropriate holders or solder tags if required by the product design, and ensure secure mechanical fixation to prevent intermittent contact in vibration-prone environments.

Usage recommendations

Store batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged storage at elevated temperatures to preserve shelf life. Follow applicable safety, handling and disposal regulations for lithium primary cells. For reliable long-term operation, design devices to minimize continuous drain and to use the battery primarily for low-current standby, memory retention or periodic transmission tasks.
