Second Generation of Saft lithium cells
Uncategorized, 24 November, 2020
Saft announced changes in the small bobbin Li-SOCl2 primary cells of the LS series manufactured in Poitiers, France: LS 14250 (1/2 AA size), LS 14500 ( AA size) and LS 17500 (A).
The changes will be implemented effectively in 2021 and concern only the internal components of the cells; there are no changes in the housing or external dimensions. The aim is to improve the operating parameters of Saft LS cells, in particular:
– Voltage response at moderate and high temperatures, especially voltage stability at high temperatures;
– Better depassivation at all temperatures;
– Lower self-discharge, especially at moderate and high temperatures;
– Maintained capacity at low discharge and high temperature;
– Atex results with short-circuit test under load of 3 mOhm and 60 ° C according to IECEx60079-11 standard
– Higher resistance to external corrosion.
Wamtechnik has already received the samples of LS Gen2 cells and is currently testing them in their own laboratory.
