Tadiran SL-360T AA lithium battery with 3.6 V and 2.4 Ah, with solder tabs

The Tadiran SL-360T from the iXtra series is a primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery in the widely used AA (Mignon) size. It was specially developed for applications requiring a long service life in combination with moderate current carrying capacity. This version is pre-configured with solder tags (LF-U) for direct and secure mounting onto PCBs. With a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a very high capacity of 2.4 Ah, it is the ideal energy solution for professional electronics that require regular power consumption.

Highlights at a glance

• Optimised for moderate loads: High capacity and stable voltage even for moderate current requirements.
• For PCB assembly: Pre-configured with solder tags for direct installation.
• Very high capacity: 2.4 Ah for maximally extended and self-sufficient operating time.
• High nominal voltage: Stable voltage of 3.6 V throughout almost the entire service life.
• Wide temperature range: Reliable operation from -55 °C to +85 °C.

Powerful in a wide range of applications

The Tadiran SL-360T was specifically developed for applications where longevity and improved power output are crucial. The solder tags allow for a firm and permanent integration into the circuitry. Its primary areas of use include wireless alarm and security systems, GPS tracking modules, professional radios, data loggers and industrial meters and measuring instruments (metering) that transmit data regularly.

Engineered for maximum safety and efficiency

The safety and longevity of the SL-360T are based on the proven Tadiran design. The cell features a hermetic glass-to-metal seal that reliably prevents the electrolyte from leaking. The inorganic electrolyte used is non-flammable, providing a high level of intrinsic safety. Each cell is designed to deliver its energy constantly and safely over a very long period, which minimises maintenance costs and reduces the overall operating costs of your application.

iXtra series: The technology for higher performance

The iXtra series from Tadiran is designed to provide enhanced voltage stability under load. Compared to the standard series (SL-700), which is optimised for ultra-low continuous currents, the SL-300 series demonstrates superior performance under moderate load requirements and pulse currents. This overcomes the passivation effect more quickly, resulting in more reliable energy delivery for applications that regularly “wake up” to perform tasks.

FAQs about this Tadiran battery

What does the connection with solder tags mean?

This model is equipped with metal contacts, known as solder tags, which allow easy and permanently secure attachment directly to a printed circuit board (PCB). This ensures excellent mechanical and electrical connection without the need for a battery holder.

What is the difference between the SL-300 (iXtra) and the SL-700 series?

The SL-300 (iXtra) series, which this cell belongs to, is optimised for applications with moderate current demand (e.g. radio sensors). It offers more stable voltage under load. The SL-700 series, however, is designed for absolute long-term use with the lowest possible continuous current, such as for pure memory backup applications.

For which applications is this battery type suitable?

This battery type is ideal for professional electronics where the battery is soldered in place and a long service life with regular power demand is essential. Examples include wireless alarm systems, GPS trackers, and industrial wireless sensors.

Is this battery rechargeable?

No, this is a primary lithium battery and must not be recharged under any circumstances. Attempting to recharge the cell is dangerous and can result in overheating, leakage or bursting of the cell.

What does the passivation effect mean for this battery?

After longer storage, a protective layer forms on the lithium surface, which minimises self-discharge. The iXtra series is designed so that this layer is reduced more quickly under load and with less voltage drop than with the SL-700 series, making it advantageous for applications with regular current pulses.
