The Saft LS33600 is a high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) in size D, which was developed for demanding industrial applications with maximum energy requirements. It offers a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and an exceptionally high capacity of 17.0 Ah. Thanks to its extremely low self-discharge and robust design, it is the ideal choice for long-life applications where maximum reliability and decades of maintenance-free operation are required.Highlights at a glanceMaximum capacity: 17.0 Ah in the D size for an extremely long runtimePowerful: High and stable operating voltage of 3.6 VExtremely long-lasting: Very low self-discharge of less than 1 % per yearReliable: Excellent response behaviour even after long periods of storageRobust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel housing for maximum operational safetyVersatile: Can be used in a wide temperature range from -60 °C to +85 °CPowerful for energy-intensive long-term applicationsThe Saft LS33600 is the perfect energy solution for professional and industrial devices that require a very high amount of energy autonomously over many years. Its outstanding capacity makes it the first choice for gas, water or electricity meters (metering), memory backup systems (memory back up) for critical infrastructure, maritime buoys, seismic sensors and sophisticated tracking systems.Efficiency and guaranteed safetyThe proven lithium thionyl chloride technology guarantees reliable energy output for many years. The cell is hermetically sealed with a glass-to-metal seal to minimise the risk of current leakage and has a non-flammable electrolyte, which significantly increases operational safety. The LS33600 is compliant with the IEC 60086-4 safety standard and UL certified, emphasising its suitability for safety-critical applications.Robust Li-SOCl2 technology for industryLithium thionyl chloride chemistry stands for superior energy density and an exceptionally long service life. Compared to other battery technologies, it offers a stable voltage level until the end of the discharge cycle, even after a long storage period. The robust design reliably protects the cell against corrosion and environmental influences, thus ensuring the functionality of your application over the entire product service life. Characteristics  ModelSaft LS33600 TechnologyLithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) SizeD (mono) Rated voltage (V)3.6 Capacity (mAh)17000 Max. continuous discharge current200 mA Self-dischargeapprox. 1% per year Operating temperature (°C)-60 ~ +85 Dimensions (Ø x L, mm)approx. 33.4 x 60.0 Weight (g)approx. 90 ConnectionStandard (industrial head) RechargeableNo  FAQs about the Saft LS33600 lithium round cellWhat does size D mean?Size D, also known as a mono cell, is one of the largest standard sizes for round cells. Its large volume enables a very high capacity, making it ideal for applications that require an extremely long runtime without battery replacement.Is the Saft LS33600 rechargeable?No, the LS33600 is a lithium primary battery and must not be charged under any circumstances. Attempted charging is dangerous and can lead to destruction of the cell, leakage or deflagration.For which applications is the LS33600 particularly suitable?It is ideal for professional applications with very high energy requirements and low continuous current that need to function independently for decades. These primarily include smart metering gateways, long-term data loggers, buoys, pipeline monitoring systems and other low-maintenance industrial applications.What is the difference to the Saft LS26500?The main difference lies in the size and capacity. The LS33600 (size D) is both taller and thicker than the LS26500 (size C). As a result, at 17.0 Ah, the LS33600 offers more than twice the capacity of the LS26500 (7.7 Ah) and therefore enables considerably longer operating times.How should the LS33600 be disposed of correctly?As a lithium battery, it is subject to special disposal regulations. It must be disposed of at appropriate municipal collection centres or specialist retailers. Disposal with household waste is not permitted.
