Saft LSH14 lithium round cell with 3.6 V and 5.8 Ah
Description
Product information
The Saft LSH14 is a high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) in size C, specially developed for professional applications with high energy and power requirements. Thanks to its spiral electrode construction, it offers a nominal voltage of 3.6 V, a high capacity of 5.8 Ah, and the ability to deliver exceptionally high continuous and pulse currents. This makes it the ideal choice for demanding devices where fast and high energy output is crucial.
Highlights at a Glance
- High current carrying capacity: Developed for high continuous currents up to 1300 mA
- High capacity: 5.8 Ah for a long-lasting and powerful energy supply
- High pulse capability: Reliable delivery of pulses up to 2500 mA
- Spiral technology: Optimised for fast energy output with minimal voltage drop
- Wide temperature range: Reliable use from -60 °C to +85 °C
- Robust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel housing for maximum operational safety
Maximum Power for Demanding Applications
The Saft LSH14 is the perfect energy solution for devices that require high performance either for short periods or permanently. It is ideally suited for use in emergency transmitters (ELT, EPIRB), military equipment, professional power tools, tracking systems with frequent data transmission, and other industrial applications where standard lithium batteries would reach their performance limits.
Superior Spiral Technology for High Currents
In contrast to batteries with wound construction (bobbin type), the spiral design of the LSH14 maximises the active electrode surface. This enables a much faster chemical reaction and thus the delivery of significantly higher currents with consistently stable voltage behaviour. This ensures reliable and constant performance for your application even under high load.
Efficiency and Guaranteed Safety
The cell is hermetically sealed with a glass-to-metal seal to minimise the risk of current leakage, and has a non-flammable electrolyte, which significantly increases operational safety. The LSH14 conforms to the IEC 60086-4 safety standard and is UL certified, making it suitable for safety-critical applications with high power requirements.

FAQs about the Saft LSH14 lithium round cell
What does the suffix "LSH" mean for this battery?
The "LSH" designation stands for the High Power series from Saft. These batteries use a spiral electrode design that enables them to deliver significantly higher currents than the "LS" (Low Self-discharge) series, which is designed for long-term applications with low current requirements.
What is the main difference to the Saft LS26500?
Although both batteries are size C, they are optimised for different purposes. The LSH14 is designed for high power and high current output (e.g. for motors or transmitters). The LS26500 is optimised for an extremely long life with very low current consumption (e.g. for memory back-up).
Does the LSH14 have a higher self-discharge rate than an LS battery?
Yes, due to the spiral construction with a larger electrode surface, the self-discharge of the LSH series tends to be somewhat higher than that of the LS series. Nevertheless, it offers excellent shelf life and lifespan for a high-performance battery.
Which devices is the LSH14 particularly suitable for?
It is ideal for devices that require high performance, such as emergency beacons, professional sensors with active transmission, medical devices, security and military technology, and other demanding industrial applications.
Is the LSH14 rechargeable?
No, the LSH14 is a lithium primary battery and must not under any circumstances be recharged. Any attempt to charge is dangerous and can lead to the destruction of the cell or an explosion.
