Description
Product information
The Tadiran SL-761S is a primary high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery in the compact special size 2/3 AA. It was designed for maximum reliability and an extremely long operating life in space-critical applications. With a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a capacity of 1.5 Ah, it is the ideal power solution for professional electronic assemblies where miniaturisation and longevity are important. Its unique chemistry and robust construction guarantee outstanding performance even under the most extreme environmental conditions.
Highlights at a glance
- Compact design: High energy density in the special 2/3 AA size for miniaturised devices.
- Reliable capacity: 1.5 Ah for long and self-sufficient operating periods.
- High nominal voltage: Stable voltage level of 3.6 V during almost the entire service life.
- Maximum reliability: Extremely low self-discharge rate of less than 1% per year.
- Outstanding longevity: Designed for more than 10 years of operating and storage life.
- Extreme temperature range: Fully functional in a temperature range from -55°C to +85°C.
Powerful in a wide range of applications
Thanks to its compact 2/3 AA size, the Tadiran SL-761S is ideal for space-critical applications where a standard AA cell would be too large. It is the preferred choice for professional original equipment in compact sensors, for memory backup (RTC, CMOS) on densely populated boards, in smaller alarm systems and in medical technology. Its reliability also makes it indispensable for miniaturised GPS tracking modules and other mobile monitoring devices.
Designed for maximum safety and efficiency
The safety and longevity of the SL-761S are based on its well thought-out construction. The cell has a hermetic glass-to-metal seal, which reliably prevents the electrolyte from leaking. The inorganic electrolyte used is non-flammable and provides a high degree of intrinsic safety. Each cell is designed to deliver its energy consistently and safely over a very long period, minimising maintenance costs and lowering the total operating costs of your application.
Superior lithium thionyl chloride technology
Lithium thionyl chloride technology (Li-SOCl₂) offers crucial advantages for long-term applications. A characteristic feature is the passivation effect: a thin protective layer forms on the lithium anode, which drastically reduces self-discharge and thus enables extremely long shelf life. This technology ensures that the energy is almost completely available even after years of storage, which distinguishes the SL-761S from all other battery technologies.

FAQs about the Tadiran SL-761S battery
Is this battery rechargeable?
No, the Tadiran SL-761S is a primary lithium battery and must not be charged under any circumstances. Attempting to charge the cell is dangerous and can lead to overheating, leakage or the cell bursting.
What does the passivation effect mean for this battery?
After longer storage, a protective layer forms on the lithium surface that minimises self-discharge. With the first load, this layer can lead to a short voltage delay. For applications requiring immediate high current pulses, appropriate circuit designs or special battery types should be considered.
How long does the battery last and how should it be stored?
The battery has a shelf life of more than 10 years. For maximum durability, we recommend storing it in a cool and dry place with low humidity.
Which devices is this battery type suitable for?
This battery type is intended exclusively for professional and industrial electronics, especially in devices where the available space is very limited. These include compact sensors, memory backup, security technology and miniaturised tracking systems.
Does this model have solder connections?
No, this SL-761S model is the standard version and is supplied without solder connections. It is intended for use in suitable battery holders. For direct installation on PCBs, Tadiran offers variants of this cell type with different solder connections.
What makes this battery safer than other battery types?
Safety is ensured by several factors: The hermetic glass-to-metal seal prevents leakage, the inorganic electrolyte is non-flammable and the cell is not under pressure at room temperature. This ensures a high level of operational safety.
