Powerful for compact industrial applications

The Saft LS17330 is the perfect energy solution for professional and industrial devices where space is limited. Its high energy density makes it the first choice for wireless alarm systems, memory backup systems (memory back up), gas or water meters (metering), professional electronics and tracking systems. Thanks to its ability to provide stable performance even at low temperatures, it ensures your devices work reliably under all conditions.

Efficiency and guaranteed safety

Proven lithium thionyl chloride technology guarantees reliable energy output for many years. The cell is hermetically sealed by a glass-to-metal seal to minimise the risk of leakage and contains a non-flammable electrolyte, significantly increasing operational safety. The LS17330 is compliant with IEC 60086-4 safety standard and UL certified, confirming its suitability for safety-critical applications.

Robust Li-SOCl2 technology for industry

Lithium thionyl chloride chemistry is synonymous with superior energy density and exceptionally long service life. Compared to other battery technologies, it offers a stable voltage up to the end of the discharge cycle, even after long storage periods. The robust construction reliably protects the cell from corrosion and environmental influences, ensuring your application functions throughout the entire product life.
 

Features

FAQs about the Saft LS17330 lithium round cell

What does the size 2/3 A mean?

The 2/3 A size describes a cell that is shorter than a standard AA battery but has a slightly larger diameter. This compact shape makes a high energy density possible for applications with limited space.

Is the Saft LS17330 rechargeable?

No, the LS17330 is a lithium primary battery and under no circumstances may it be recharged. Attempting to recharge is dangerous and can result in cell destruction, leakage or an explosion.

For which applications is the LS17330 particularly well suited?

It is ideal for professional applications with low continuous current that must work reliably for many years and where little space is available. This mainly includes compact sensors, alarm systems, memory backup (memory back up) and GPS trackers.

What is the difference to the Saft LS14500?

The main difference is in the size and capacity. The LS17330 (2/3 A) is shorter and thicker than the LS14500 (AA). At 2.1 Ah, it offers a slightly lower capacity than the LS14500 (2.6 Ah). The choice depends on the available space and the energy needs of the application.

How should the LS17330 be properly disposed of?

As a lithium battery, it is subject to special disposal regulations. It must be taken to appropriate municipal collection points or specialist dealers. Disposal as household waste is not permitted.
