Saft Lithium round cell LS26500 with HBG solder tag, 3.6 V and 7.7 Ah

The Saft LS26500 with HBG solder tag is a high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) in size C, specially developed for horizontal and mechanically stable mounting on printed circuit boards. This version is based on the reliable LS26500 cell and offers a nominal voltage of 3.6 V as well as a very high capacity of 7.7 Ah. The special HBG solder terminals ensure secure and permanent installation in demanding industrial applications.

Highlights at a glance

• Safe mounting: HBG solder terminals for stable, horizontal PCB mounting
• Very high capacity: 7.7 Ah in the C size for maximum runtime
• Powerful: High and stable operating voltage of 3.6 V
• Extremely durable: Very low self-discharge of less than 1% per year
• Robust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel housing for maximum operational safety
• Versatile: Usable in a wide temperature range from -60 °C to +85 °C

Powerful for compact industrial applications

The Saft LS26500 with HBG solder tag was designed for use in professional devices where low overall height and vibration-resistant mounting of the energy source are essential. The HBG terminals allow the battery to be soldered flat directly onto the printed circuit board. It is ideally suited for memory backup systems, industrial computers, demanding meters and control systems that require a durable and permanently installed power supply.

Efficiency and guaranteed safety

The proven lithium thionyl chloride technology guarantees a reliable energy output over many years. The cell is hermetically sealed by a glass-to-metal seal to minimise the risk of leakage current, and contains a non-flammable electrolyte. This significantly increases operational safety. The LS26500 complies with IEC 60086-4 safety standard and is UL certified.

Robust Li-SOCl2 technology for industry

Lithium thionyl chloride chemistry stands for superior energy density and an exceptionally long service life. Compared to other battery technologies, it offers stable voltage until the end of the discharge cycle. The robust construction reliably protects the cell against corrosion and mechanical stresses, thus ensuring functionality of your application throughout the entire product lifetime.

FAQs for Saft LS26500 with HBG solder tag

What does the designation HBG solder tag mean?

The HBG solder tag is a special 3 pin connection configuration for horizontal (flat) mounting of the battery on a printed circuit board. This arrangement provides particularly high mechanical stability and a defined, reverse-polarity safe installation.

Is the Saft LS26500 with HBG solder tag rechargeable?

No, this is a lithium primary battery that is not rechargeable. Any attempt to recharge the battery is dangerous and can lead to destruction of the cell, leakage or an explosion.

What is the difference between this version and one with a Z solder tag?

Both types of connection are designed for horizontal mounting. However, the HBG configuration typically uses a 3-point mounting system, which offers even greater stability against vibration and shocks than a standard Z solder tag.

For which applications is this battery particularly suitable?

This version is optimal for all applications where a long-life buffer battery with high capacity is required and which may be subject to extreme mechanical stresses or vibrations. Examples are controllers in vehicles, industrial computers or mobile measuring devices.

How should the LS26500 with HBG solder tag be disposed of correctly?

As a lithium battery, it is subject to special disposal regulations. It must be handed in at the relevant municipal collection points or specialist retailers. Disposal with household waste is not permitted.
