Saft Lithium round cell LSH14 with Z solder tag, 3.6 V and 5.8 Ah

The Saft LSH14 with Z solder tag is a high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) in size C designed for horizontal mounting on printed circuit boards. It combines the spiral-shaped high-performance technology of the LSH series with a flat, space-saving installation. With a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a capacity of 5.8 Ah, it is the ideal choice for demanding devices that require high energy output and a compact design.

Highlights at a glance

• Flat mounting: Z-shaped solder tags for horizontal mounting on PCBs
• High current carrying capacity: Designed for continuous currents up to 1300 mA
• High capacity: 5.8 Ah for long-lasting and powerful energy supply
• High pulse capacity: Reliable output of pulses up to 2500 mA
• Spiral technology: Optimized for fast energy delivery with minimal voltage drop
• Robust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel body for maximum operational safety

Maximum power for compact applications

The Saft LSH14 with Z solder tag was specially developed for use in professional equipment where low height and high performance are decisive. The Z-shaped terminals make it possible to solder the battery horizontally directly onto the PCB. It is ideally suited for emergency transmitters, military equipment and high-performance industrial applications with limited space.

Superior spiral technology for high currents

Unlike batteries with a bobbin-type construction, the spiral design of the LSH14 maximizes the active electrode surface. This enables a significantly faster chemical reaction and thus the delivery of much higher currents with simultaneously stable voltage behavior. This ensures reliable and constant performance of your application even under high load.

Efficiency and guaranteed safety

The cell is hermetically sealed with a glass-to-metal seal to minimize the risk of current leakage and has a non-flammable electrolyte, which significantly increases operational safety. The LSH14 complies with the IEC 60086-4 safety standard and is UL certified, making it suitable for safety-critical applications with high power requirements.

FAQs for Saft LSH14 with Z solder tag

What is the advantage of a Z solder tag?

The Z-shaped solder tag is specially designed for horizontal (flat) mounting of the battery on a PCB. This enables a very low height and is ideal for compact electronic devices where space in height is limited.

What is the main difference to the Saft LS26500?

Although both batteries have size C, they are optimized for different purposes. The LSH14 is designed for high power and high current output thanks to its spiral technology. The LS26500 is optimized for an extremely long service life with very low power consumption.

For which applications is this battery particularly suitable?

This version is ideal for all high-performance applications where a long-lasting battery is needed and, at the same time, a very flat design is to be realized. Examples are compact emergency transmitters, flat sensor modules, or high-performance memory modules.

Does the LSH14 have a higher self-discharge than an LS battery?

Yes, due to the spiral-shaped construction with a larger electrode surface, the self-discharge of the LSH series tends to be somewhat higher than the LS series. Nevertheless, it offers excellent storage properties and lifetime for a high-performance battery.

Is the LSH14 with Z solder tag rechargeable?

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