Lithium AA batteries from Saft, designed for use in industrial and commercial applications. These AA batteries are not like typical AA batteries, they have a nominal voltage rating of 3.6V designed for use in applications where a device is used for a long period of time such as utility metering, security and alarms.

LS14500 batteries use lithium-thionyl chloride so they have a high energy density, low discharge rate, ideal for lengthy storage periods plus they are fully compliant with IEC60086-4 and IEC60079-11 safety standards.

Why choose these batteries?

Saft LS14500 lithium AA batteries are 3.6 V rated which is considerably higher than commonly used AA batteries. They are applicable for equipment or instruments designed for this rating otherwise damage will ensue. Saft LS14500 lithium batteries are non-rechargeable and should not be recharged.

• The nominal voltage of 3.6 V, greater than conventional cells
• Wide temperature range −60ﾟC to +85ﾟC
• High energy density, the highest of any primary battery

• Operating voltage: 3.6 V
• Bobbin construction
• Low self-discharge for extended life
• Operating temperature: - 60°C to + 85°C

Typical Applications

Lithium AA batteries are used in electronic devices that require a small, compact source of power. Example applications include:
• Utility Meters
• Smoke detectors
• Alarm systems

FAQ’s
Are Alkaline/Lithium Batteries Harmful?

Alkaline batteries can sometimes leak a substance called potassium hydroxide which is a caustic agent that can cause eye, skin and respiratory irritations. This risk is reduced by not mixing different manufacturer battery types, batteries of different chemistries and by the replacement of all batteries at the same time.

How to dispose of Alkaline/Lithium Batteries?

Recycle responsibly, a wide range of schemes are available.
Safety Advice
Keep out of sight and reach of children

Guidance:
• Always install the batteries correctly as per instruction
• Ensure that the contact points are clean and conductive
