FAQs about the VARTA lithium battery CR1620
What does the designation CR1620 mean?
The designation provides information about the characteristics and size of the cell. "C" stands for lithium chemistry, "R" for the round form. The numbers "1620" represent the dimensions: 16.0 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm in height.
Is this battery rechargeable?
No. This is a lithium primary cell. Recharging must not be attempted under any circumstances. Attempts to recharge are extremely dangerous and can result in fire or explosion.
What is the advantage compared to alkaline or silver oxide button cells?
The main advantage is the high voltage of 3 volts in a single cell, while alkaline and silver oxide cells only supply 1.5 V and 1.55 V respectively. In addition, lithium cells offer a significantly longer shelf life and a wider operating temperature range.
How should this battery be disposed of?
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Please take the empty battery to the designated collection points in stores or municipal recycling centres to ensure environmentally friendly recycling.

The Tadiran SL-360S from the iXtra Series is a primary lithium thionyl chloride battery in the size AA (Mignon). It has been specially developed for applications that require a long service life in combination with moderate current capacity. With a high 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 regularly require moderate current pulses. This model is the standard version for use in battery holders.Highlights at a glanceOptimised for moderate loads: High capacity and stable voltage even with moderate current requirements.Very high capacity: 2.4 Ah for a maximum extended and self-sufficient operating time.High rated voltage: Stable voltage of 3.6 V for almost the entire lifetime.Maximum reliability: Proven long-term stability and low self-discharge.Wide temperature range: Reliable operation from -55 °C to +85 °C.Powerful in a wide range of applicationsThe Tadiran SL-360S was specifically developed for applications where longevity and improved performance output are crucial. Its primary uses include wireless alarm and security systems, GPS tracking modules, professional radios, data loggers, as well as industrial counters and measuring instruments (metering) that regularly transmit data. It is the ideal choice for all devices that operate independently for years and periodically require power for transmission or measurement operations.Designed for maximum safety and efficiencyThe safety and longevity of the SL-360S is based on proven Tadiran design. The cell has a hermetic glass-to-metal seal that reliably prevents the electrolyte from leaking. The inorganic electrolyte used is non-flammable and ensures a high level of intrinsic safety. Each cell is designed to supply its energy consistently and safely over a very long period, minimising maintenance costs and reducing the total operating costs of your application.iXtra Series: The technology for higher performanceThe iXtra Series from Tadiran is designed to provide improved voltage stability under load. Compared to the standard series (SL-700), which is optimised for minimal continuous currents, the SL-300 series offers better performance with moderate load requirements and pulse currents. The passivation effect is thus overcome more quickly, resulting in a more stable power supply for applications that regularly "wake up" to perform tasks.

It provides more stable voltage under load. The SL-700 series, on the other hand, is designed for absolute long-term use with minimal continuous current, such as in pure memory back-up applications.For which applications is this battery type suitable?This battery type is ideal for professional electronics that require long service life but regularly need power for functions such as sending data. Examples include wireless alarm systems, GPS trackers, data loggers and industrial wireless sensors.Does this model have solder terminals or wires?No, the model SL-360S is the standard version with normal battery contacts and is intended for use in a suitable AA battery holder. For direct installation, Tadiran also offers versions of this cell type with various solder terminals.Is this battery rechargeable?No, this 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 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 breaks down more quickly and with less voltage drop under load than with the SL-700 Series, which is advantageous for applications with regular current pulses.
