The Saft LS14500 is a 3.6V Lithium-Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl2) battery featuring a nominal capacity of 2600 mAh, designed to deliver stable and long-lasting power.

While it shares the same size as standard AA batteries (14.5 x 50.3 mm), it operates at a much higher voltage (3.6V vs 1.5V). It should only be used in devices specifically engineered to support 3.6V lithium batteries.

The LS14500 is highly versatile and performs exceptionally well in extreme climates, with an operating temperature range of -60°C to +85°C.

No, the Saft LS14500 is a primary (non-rechargeable) battery. Attempting to charge it can cause leakage, damage, or safety hazards.

It has a low self-discharge rate (less than 1% per year of storage at +20°C), giving it an impressive shelf life of up to 10 years when stored properly.

Common applications include utility meters, automatic meter readers, alarm systems, GPS tracking devices, memory backup systems, and professional electronic equipment.
