Saft Lithium round cell LS14500 with axial wire connection, 3.6 V and 2.6 Ah

The Saft LS14500 with axial wire connection is a high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) in AA size, factory-assembled with flexible connection wires. This version is based on the powerful LS14500 cell and offers a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a high capacity of 2.6 Ah. The wire connections enable versatile integration in applications that require a wired energy solution, ensuring a long and reliable operating life.

Highlights at a glance

• Ready for connection: Axial wire connections for flexible and direct wiring
• High capacity: 2.6 Ah in the standard AA size for maximum energy density
• Powerful: High and stable operating voltage of 3.6 V
• Extremely long-lasting: 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 flexible industrial applications

The Saft LS14500 with axial wire connection was designed for use in professional devices where flexible positioning of the battery in the housing is required. The soldered wires allow easy connection to contacts on the main board without the need to place the battery itself on the board. It is ideal for memory backup systems, alarm systems, counters, localisation systems and industrial control units.

Efficiency and guaranteed safety

The proven lithium thionyl chloride technology guarantees reliable energy output over many years. The cell is hermetically sealed by a glass-to-metal seal to minimise the risk of leakage currents and has a non-flammable electrolyte, which significantly increases operational safety. The LS14500 complies with the IEC 60086-4 safety standard and is UL certified.

Robust Li-SOCl2 technology for professionals

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. The robust design reliably protects the cell against corrosion and mechanical stresses, thus ensuring the functionality of your application throughout the entire product service life.

FAQs about the Saft LS14500 with axial wire connection

What is the advantage of axial wire connections?

Axial wire connections offer maximum flexibility during installation. The battery does not have to sit directly on a board, but can be placed at any suitable location within the device's enclosure and then connected to the electronics via the wires. This is particularly useful when space on the PCB is limited.

Is the Saft LS14500 with wires rechargeable?

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

How does this version differ from a standard LS14500 cell?

The battery cell itself is identical to the standard LS14500. The difference lies only in the configuration. This version is factory-supplied with permanently connected axial wires, which eliminates the need for manual soldering during installation and ensures a process-reliable connection.

Can this battery be used in standard devices for AA batteries?

No, this battery is exclusively designed for professional electronics with an operating voltage of 3.6 V. The voltage is more than twice as high as a standard 1.5 V AA battery. Furthermore, the wires do not allow use in standard battery holders.

Can the wires be shortened or lengthened?

Yes, the wires can be shortened according to the requirements of your application. Extension is also possible, but should be carried out professionally with suitable connectors or solder joints and appropriate insulation to ensure electrical safety.
