Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery SATEL BAT-ER34615 3.6 V ER34615M (AA-size D-cell format)

The SATEL BAT-ER34615 lithium thionyl chloride battery is a primary cell with a nominal voltage of 3.6 V designed for long-term, low-drain and occasional high-drain applications. Built on Li-SOCl2 chemistry, this replacement battery delivers low self-discharge and reliable open-circuit voltage over extended storage periods. Its D-cell format in AA-size housing (ER34615M) makes it appropriate for systems that require compact form factor combined with long service life and stable performance across a wide temperature range.

Advantages

Low self-discharge characteristic of lithium thionyl chloride chemistry ensures long shelf life and sustained capacity during storage. The nominal 3.6 V output provides stable power for memory backup and metering circuits. The construction is aimed at primary use, offering dependable operation in industrial electronics and alarm systems where replacement frequency needs to be minimized. The cell tolerates a wide operating temperature range typical for Li-SOCl2 cells, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor installations exposed to temperature variations.

Suitable for

• Utility meters and remote metering modules
• Alarm systems and security sensors
• Memory backup for controllers, data loggers and RTC modules
• Industrial electronics, sensors and telemetry devices
• Low-drain and intermittent-use battery-powered equipment

Key specifications

• Chemistry: lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2)
• Nominal voltage: 3.6 V
• Cell format: D-cell style in AA-size compatible housing (ER34615M form factor)
• Primary (non-rechargeable) cell intended for long-term use

How to use

Install the battery observing correct polarity in the device battery compartment or holder. This primary lithium cell is intended for single-use only and must not be recharged. Use in equipment designed for 3.6 V primary cells and avoid mixing with other battery chemistries or cells of different voltages. For devices with changing load profiles, verify that the battery's discharge characteristics match the application's peak and steady currents to ensure expected service life.

Usage recommendations

Store unused batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Prior to installation, check device documentation for recommended storage and operating temperature limits. Dispose of used cells according to local regulations; do not incinerate or puncture the battery. For safety and optimal performance, replace batteries before end-of-life indications in critical equipment such as alarm systems and metering devices.
