Electrical Characteristics

(Typical values for cells stored for one year or less at +30°C maximum)

Parameter	Specification
Nominal Capacity	5.8 Ah (at 15 mA, +20°C, 2.0 V cut-off)¹
Open Circuit Voltage	3.67 V (at +20°C)
Nominal Voltage	3.6 V (at 1 mA, +20°C)
Max. Continuous Current	1300 mA (to maintain safe heating limits)²
Pulse Capability	Typically up to 2000 mA³

Capacity varies according to current drain, temperature, and cut-off voltage. ² Battery packs may imply lower current levels and require specific thermal protection. Consult Saft. ³ 2000 mA/0.1s pulses every 2 min at +20°C (from undischarged cells with 10 µA base current) yield voltage >3.0 V. Readings vary by pulse characteristics and history. Capacitors may be recommended for severe conditions. Consult Saft.

Physical Characteristics

Diameter (max): 26.0 mm (1.02 in)
Height (max): 50.4 mm (1.98 in)
Typical Weight: 51 g (1.8 oz)
Li Metal Content: Approx. 1.7 g
Available Terminations: CN, CNR (radial tabs); 3PF, 3 PF RP (radial pins); CNA (AX) (axial leads); FL (flying leads), etc.

Storage & Operating Conditions

Storage Environment: Area should be clean, cool (preferably not exceeding +30°C / +86°F), dry, and ventilated.
Operating Temperature: -60°C to +85°C (-76°F to +185°F).

Note: Extreme temperatures may reduce capacity and lead to lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft.

Warning

Fire, explosion, and burn hazard.

Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, incinerate, or expose contents to water.
Do not heat above 100°C (212°F).
Do not solder directly to the cell (use tabbed cell versions).
