Tadiran SL-860S Lithium battery AA with 3.6 V and 2.4 Ah

Description

Product information

The Tadiran SL-860S is a primary high-performance lithium thionyl chloride battery in the widely used AA (Mignon) form factor. It was designed for professional applications requiring very high capacity and long service life. With a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a very high capacity of 2.4 Ah, it is a reliable energy solution for long-life electronic devices. This model is the standard design for use in battery holders.

Highlights at a glance

  • Very high capacity: 2.4 Ah for maximised extended and autonomous operating time.
  • Standardised design: Common AA (Mignon) size for broad compatibility.
  • High nominal voltage: Stable voltage of 3.6 V throughout almost the entire service life.
  • Maximum reliability: Proven long-term stability and low self-discharge.
  • Wide temperature range: Reliable operation from -55 °C to +85 °C.

Powerful in diverse applications

The Tadiran SL-860S is the perfect choice for replacing conventional batteries in devices where frequent battery replacement is undesirable or costly. It is excellent for professional initial equipment in metering technology (water, gas, electricity), for memory backups (RTC, CMOS) in computers and controls, as well as in alarm systems, security systems and industrial sensors that rely on AA battery holders.

Engineered for maximum safety and efficiency

The safety and durability of the SL-860S are based on the proven Tadiran design. The cell features a hermetic glass-to-metal seal that reliably prevents electrolyte leakage. The inorganic electrolyte used is non-flammable and provides a high level of intrinsic safety. Each cell is designed to deliver its energy consistently and safely over a very long period, which minimises maintenance costs and reduces the overall operating costs of your application.

Superior lithium thionyl chloride technology

Lithium thionyl chloride technology (Li-SOCl₂) is the gold standard for long-term applications with low current drain. A characteristic feature is the passivation effect: A thin protective layer forms on the lithium anode, which reduces self-discharge to an absolute minimum and thus enables extremely long shelf and operating life. This ensures that the energy is still reliably available even after many years.

FAQs about this Tadiran battery

Does this model have solder tabs or wires?

No, the SL-860S model is the standard version with regular battery contacts and intended for use in a suitable AA battery holder. For direct installation, Tadiran also offers variants of this cell type with different solder tabs.

For which applications is this battery type suitable?

This type of battery is ideal for professional electronics that require extremely long service life and use AA batteries. Typical applications are meters, industrial computers, alarm systems and long-life sensors.

Is this battery rechargeable?

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

What does the passivation effect mean for this battery?

After prolonged storage, a protective layer forms on the lithium surface. This layer is the reason for the extremely low self-discharge. When the battery is first put under load, especially at higher currents, it can lead to a brief voltage delay. This should be taken into account in the application’s circuit design.

How long is the battery shelf life and how should it be stored?

The battery has a shelf life of over 10 years. For maximum shelf life, we recommend storage in a cool and dry place with low humidity.
