High-Drain and Pulse Performance

The LO 35 SX is designed for equipment requiring both continuous current and intermittent pulses. Its 2A recommended continuous current and typically up to 5A pulse capability make it suitable for professional electronics with demanding power requirements. Actual pulse performance depends on pulse duration, frequency, temperature, cell history and the application’s minimum acceptable voltage.

Long Storage and Temperature Performance

The battery has a low self-discharge rate of less than 3% after one year of storage at +20°C, making it suitable for equipment that may remain stored before deployment. SAFT specifies an operating range of approximately -60°C to +70°C, with short excursions up to +85°C possible at currents below 1A.

Typical Applications

SAFT identifies the LO 35 SX for applications including:

  • Radiocommunication equipment
  • Military and defense equipment
  • Automotive telematics
  • Professional electronic systems
  • Tracking and communication equipment
  • Specialized monitoring equipment
  • Electronic equipment requiring reliable primary lithium power

SAFT specifically lists radiocommunications, military applications and automotive telematics as main applications for the LO 35 SX.

Physical Construction

The LO 35 SX has a maximum diameter of 25.9mm, maximum height of 35.9mm excluding radial tabs, and a typical weight of approximately 30g. The standard cell is supplied with resin potting in the topshell area and two radial nickel tabs, while other configurations may be available on request.
