Saft LSH20 lithium round cell with 3.6 V and 13.0 Ah
Description
Product information
The Saft LSH20 is a high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) in size D, developed for the most demanding industrial applications with maximum energy and power requirements. Thanks to its spiral electrode design, it offers a nominal voltage of 3.6 V, an exceptionally high capacity of 13.0 Ah and the ability to deliver extremely high continuous and pulse currents. This makes it the ultimate choice for critical applications where maximum performance and reliability are required.
Highlights at a glance
- Maximum power: Developed for the highest continuous currents up to 1800 mA
- Extremely high capacity: 13.0 Ah in the D size for maximum runtime under load
- Highest pulse capability: Reliable delivery of pulses up to 4000 mA (4 A)
- Spiral technology: Optimised for fast energy output with minimal voltage dip
- Wide temperature range: Reliably usable from -60 °C to +85 °C
- Robust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel housing for maximum operational safety
Maximum power for critical applications
The Saft LSH20 is the perfect energy solution for devices that require very high performance over a long period. It is ideal for use in emergency transmitters (ELT, EPIRB), military equipment such as radios, professional power tools, underwater applications, as support energy for high-performance backup systems, and in other industrial applications where no compromises can be made in terms of performance.
Superior spiral technology for highest currents
In contrast to batteries with bobbin-type construction, the spiral design of the LSH20 maximises the active electrode surface. This enables a significantly faster chemical reaction and thus the delivery of extremely high currents with stable voltage behaviour at the same time. This ensures reliable and constant performance of your application even under the highest load.
Efficiency and guaranteed safety
The cell is hermetically sealed by means of a glass-to-metal seal to minimise the risk of leakage current and features a non-flammable electrolyte, which significantly increases operational safety. The LSH20 complies with the IEC 60086-4 safety standard as well as being UL certified and is therefore suitable for safety-critical applications with the highest performance requirements.

FAQs about the Saft LSH20 lithium round cell
What does the suffix "LSH" mean for this battery?
The designation "LSH" stands for the High Power series by 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 power requirements.
What is the main difference to the Saft LS33600?
Although both batteries are size D, they are optimised for opposing purposes. The LSH20 is designed for maximum performance and extremely high current output (e.g. for motors or powerful transmitters) and has a capacity of 13.0 Ah. The LS33600 is optimised for an extremely long service life with very low power consumption and therefore offers a higher capacity of 17.0 Ah.
Does the LSH20 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 is generally somewhat higher than that of the LS series. Nevertheless, it offers excellent storage capability and service life for a high-performance battery.
For which devices is the LSH20 particularly suitable?
It is ideal for devices that require the highest possible performance from a primary cell. These include emergency beacons, professional dive computers, military communications technology, geophysical measuring instruments and other demanding industrial applications.
Is the LSH20 rechargeable?
No, the LSH20 is a lithium primary battery and must never be recharged under any circumstances. Any attempt to recharge is dangerous and can lead to destruction of the cell or to an explosion.

The Yuasa YTX12-BS (often simply referred to as YTX12 listed when filled at the factory) is one of the most frequently installed standard types for motorbikes worldwide. It is the "big brother" of the YTX9-BS and, with approx. 10 Ah (10h) or 10.5 Ah (20h) and 180 A cold start current, offers the ideal balance of size and performance for medium to heavy motorbikes (600cc to 1200cc). It is used in countless naked bikes, sports bikes and enduro bikes from Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, Aprilia and Honda.Highlights at a glanceThe bestseller: One of the most popular battery sizes ever (150 x 87 x 130 mm), installed in millions of vehicles such as Kawasaki Z750/Z1000, Suzuki V-Strom 650 or Triumph Bonneville.AGM technology: The acid is bound in the glass fleece (Absorbent Glass Mat), which makes the battery leak-proof (up to 45° inclination) and very vibration-resistant.Solid starting power: With 180 A (EN) cold start current, it reliably starts multi-cylinder engines even in cooler temperatures.Maintenance-free: Thanks to VRLA technology (valve regulated), the system is hermetically sealed after initial filling and sealing; no water loss, no topping up.Long service life: The robust Yuasa construction with sulphation brake ensures above-average durability when the battery is maintained in winter.YTX12 vs. YTX12-BS: Technically identical. "BS" means that the acid pack is supplied separately (dry pre-charged), while "YTX12" (without BS) is often the designation for the factory-filled version.The all-rounder for Kawasaki, Suzuki & Co.The YTX12-BS is the standard for the middle and upper class. It fits into the battery box of the Kawasaki Z-series (Z750, Z800, Z1000, ZX-10R), the Suzuki DL 650 V-Strom and SV 650 (older models), the Triumph Street Triple / Speed Triple (many years of construction), the Aprilia RSV 1000 or the Honda CBR 1100 XX Blackbird. It offers sufficient reserves for injection systems and ABS systems of this generation.

The YTX12-BS fits not in motorbikes built for the smaller A or B types.What is the difference to the YTX14-BS?The YTX14-BS has the same footprint (150x87 mm), but is higher (145 mm instead of 130 mm).If you have space above (approx. 1.5 cm), you can theoretically upgrade to the more powerful YTX14-BS (more starting current).However, if the seat is a tight fit (which is usually the case), only the YTX12-BS will fit.Do I need to charge the battery before installation?With the BS version (acid pack included): Yes. After filling with acid, the battery has approx. 75-80% charge. For maximum service life, you should always bring it to 100% with a charger ("top-up charge") before starting the engine for the first time. With the factory-filled version (YTX12): Measure the voltage. If it is below 12.6 V, you should recharge.Can I install this battery horizontally?The YTX12-BS is designed for the standing installation (vertical). It is safe up to a certain angle of inclination, but for completely horizontal installation (90°) many manufacturers recommend the "Factory Activated" (factory-filled) versions (often labelled "WC") or special gel/lithium batteries to be 100% sure that no error has occurred during activation.
