Tadiran TL-5930 Lithium battery D with 3.6 V and 19 Ah, with cable connection

The Tadiran TL-5930 is a primary high-performance lithium-thionyl chloride battery in the large size D (Mono). It is optimised for maximum reliability and an extremely long service life with minimal self-discharge. This version (/F) comes with flexible cable ends (Flying Leads) pre-assembled for versatile and straightforward installation. With a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a very high capacity of 19 Ah, it is the ideal energy solution for demanding and long-lasting industrial applications.

Highlights at a glance

• Very high capacity: 19 Ah for extremely long, self-sufficient operating times over many years.
• Maximum longevity: Extremely low self-discharge of under 1% per year.
• Flexible termination: Pre-assembled with free cable ends (/F) for versatile installations.
• High nominal voltage: Stable voltage of 3.6 V during almost the entire lifetime.
• Wide temperature range: Reliable operation from -55 °C to +85 °C.

Powerful for many applications

The Tadiran TL-5930 was specifically developed for long-term applications with low to moderate continuous current, where maximum energy reserve is required. The flexible cable connections also allow installation away from the main board. Its main areas of use include self-sufficient measuring buoys, long-term data loggers, professional security technology, remote monitoring systems and industrial control units (SPS) that must operate for years without maintenance.

Engineered for maximum safety and efficiency

The safety and longevity of the TL-5930 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 ensures a high degree of intrinsic safety. Each cell is designed to deliver its energy constantly 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) is the gold standard for long-term applications with low power consumption. A characteristic feature is the passivation effect: a thin protective layer forms on the lithium anode, which reduces the self-discharge to a minimum and thus enables extremely long storage and operational life. This ensures that energy is still reliably available even after many years.

FAQs about this Tadiran battery

What does the "/F" terminal (free cable ends) mean?

This model is equipped with flexible connection cables whose ends are stripped. This allows a versatile connection, for example, to screw terminals, connectors or by direct soldering in applications where standard board mounting is not possible or desired.

What does the high capacity of 19 Ah mean in practice?

A capacity of 19 Ah means a very large energy reserve. A device that, for example, consumes an average current of 100 microamperes (µA), could theoretically be operated with this battery for over 20 years without the need to replace the battery.

For which devices is this battery type suitable?

This battery type is ideal for professional electronics that require an extremely long and maintenance-free runtime. Typical applications are long-term data loggers, remote control systems, emergency call systems and other self-sufficient systems with low to moderate current consumption.

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 hazardous and may lead to overheating, leakage or bursting of the cell.

What does the passivation effect mean in this battery?

After extended storage, a protective layer forms on the lithium surface. This layer is the reason for the extremely low self-discharge. At the first load, especially with higher currents, it can cause a short voltage delay. This should be taken into account in the circuit design of the application.
