Battery SAFT LS14500 — single Li-SOCl2 primary cell, 3.6 V, size AA (14500), 1 piece

SAFT LS14500 is a single primary lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) cylindrical cell in AA/14500 size designed for long-term, low-drain applications where reliable primary power is required. This cell is manufactured by SAFT and offers a high energy density and an extended shelf life compared with alkaline or NiMH cells, making it suitable for devices that need stable open-circuit voltage and long service life.

Advantages

The SAFT LS14500 provides a stable nominal voltage and low self-discharge, delivering long shelf life and dependable performance in intermittent or continuous low-drain conditions. Its chemistry yields high energy density and a wide operating temperature range, and the cylindrical AA form factor ensures compatibility with many standard AA battery holders and devices. The cell construction is designed to maintain safety and stable capacity over extended storage and use.

Suitable for

• Memory backup and real-time clocks in industrial and telecom equipment
• Wireless sensors and metering devices with low to moderate continuous draw
• Security systems, alarms and smoke detectors requiring long life
• Utility meters, data loggers and remote monitoring equipment

Key specifications

• Cell chemistry: lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2)
• Nominal voltage: 3.6 V
• Form factor: cylindrical AA / 14500 size
• Design: primary (non-rechargeable) single cell
• Typical capacity range suitable for low-drain long-term applications
• Low self-discharge for long shelf life
• Wide operating temperature range appropriate for outdoor and industrial use

How to use

Install the LS14500 cell into the device following the correct polarity markings. As a primary non-rechargeable cell, it must not be placed in a charger or subjected to charging currents. For best results, use the cell in applications with low to moderate continuous current draw or in devices that require long storage life and intermittent operation. Dispose of the cell in accordance with local regulations for lithium primary batteries after end of use.

Usage recommendations

Store cells in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Verify device compatibility with a 3.6 V primary cell and consult equipment manufacturer guidelines if uncertain. Replace cells before the end of expected service life in safety-critical systems such as alarms or meters to ensure continuous operation.
