Highlights at a glance
- Flexible mounting: U-shaped solder terminals (LF-U) for versatile installation positions
- Powerful: 1.2 Ah capacity at 3.6 V for persistent power supply
- Extremely long-lasting: Very low self-discharge of less than 1% per year
- Reliable: Constant and stable operating voltage throughout the entire service life
- Robust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel housing for highest operational safety
- Versatile: Usable in a wide temperature range from -60 °C to +85 °C
Powerful for versatile industrial applications
The Saft LS14250 LF-U was developed for use in professional devices where the battery is not soldered directly onto a board but requires a flexible connection. The U-shaped solder terminals enable a secure connection with cables or in special battery holders. Typical application areas include memory backup systems, alarm systems, medical devices, meters and industrial control units that require a reliable and long-lasting power supply.
Efficiency and guaranteed safety
The proven lithium thionyl chloride technology guarantees reliable energy output over many years. The cell is hermetically sealed to minimise the risk of leakage current, and it has a non-flammable electrolyte which significantly increases operational safety. The LS14250 LF-U conforms to the IEC 60086-4 safety standard and is UL certified. This underlines its suitability for demanding applications that require maximum reliability.
Robust Li-SOCl2 technology for industrial use
Lithium thionyl chloride chemistry stands for superior energy density and exceptionally long service life. Compared to other battery technologies, it offers a stable voltage level until the end of the discharge cycle, even after long storage. The robust construction with stainless steel housing and glass-to-metal seal protects the cell reliably against corrosion and environmental influences, thus ensuring the functionality of your application throughout the entire product lifecycle.

FAQs on the Saft LS14250 LF-U lithium cylindrical cell
What does the designation LF-U mean?
The designation LF-U describes the type of connection of the battery. "LF" stands for solder tag and the "U" specifies their shape as U-shaped solder tags. These allow cables to be soldered or for use in certain holders.
Is the Saft LS14250 LF-U rechargeable?
No, the LS14250 LF-U is a lithium primary battery and must under no circumstances be recharged. Attempting to recharge it is dangerous and can cause destruction of the cell, leakage, or even explosion.
For which applications is this version with solder connections suitable?
This version is ideal for applications where the battery is not plugged directly onto a circuit board. It is often used to replace older batteries with soldered cables or for devices requiring a flexible, wired connection to the power supply.
What is the difference to the versions with pins (e.g. 2PF)?
While versions with pins (PF) are designed for direct mounting in suitably prepared holes on a circuit board, solder connections (LF-U) provide more flexibility. Cables of various lengths can be soldered on, allowing the battery to be positioned freely inside the device housing.
How should the LS14250 LF-U be correctly stored and disposed of?
The battery should be stored in a dry and cool place to ensure minimal self-discharge. As a lithium battery, it is subject to special disposal regulations and must be taken to the relevant municipal collection points or specialist retailers. Disposal in household waste is not permitted.
