Lithium Thionyl Chloride C batteries are types of batteries that are generally used in electronic devices that need a powerful, but compact source of power. They are great batteries that offer high capacity and energy density while maintaining a long operational life. In addition to this, these types of batteries generally offer a long shelf life too when not in use with a slow self-discharge rate, making them ideal for use in electronic devices, even when the devices are not in use. These batteries are most commonly used for applications like:

• Alarms and security devices


• Safety equipment


• Automotive electronics


• Backup systems


• Tracking systems


• Measuring instruments


• Memory and standby power


• Military devices

These batteries can sometimes leak a substance called potassium hydroxide which is a caustic agent that could cause potential skin, eye and respiratory irritations. To reduce the risk of this type of leak happening, batteries of different manufacturer types and different chemistries should not be mixed. In addition to this, it is also recommended to replace all batteries at the same time to reduce this risk even more.

Any batteries should be disposed of in accordance with the recommended battery recycling and disposal schemes available
