LSH20 HTS Primary Lithium SAFT Battery – 3.6V D-Size Li-SOCl₂ Battery

The SAFT LSH20 HTS lithium battery is a high-performance 3.6V primary Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl₂) battery designed for demanding industrial applications requiring high power, strong pulse performance, stable voltage, and reliable operation in harsh environments. The LSH20 HTS uses a D-size spiral-cell construction specifically developed for applications requiring high drain and high pulse capability.

The SAFT LSH20 HTS 3.6V lithium battery provides a nominal capacity of 11Ah under the specified test conditions and a nominal energy of approximately 39.6Wh. Its spiral construction allows the battery to deliver high pulse currents, with typical pulse capability of up to 3000mA, depending on temperature, pulse characteristics, and battery history.

Designed for severe operating conditions, the LSH20 HTS battery can operate across a temperature range of approximately -60°C to +85°C and is engineered to withstand significant vibration and mechanical shock. This makes it particularly suitable for oil and gas exploration, downhole equipment, Measurement While Drilling (MWD), oil and gas well monitoring, military systems, space vehicles, and launch systems.

The SAFT LSH20 HTS primary lithium battery features a stainless-steel container, hermetic glass-to-metal sealing, a built-in safety vent, and a non-flammable electrolyte. SAFT also specifies a low self-discharge rate of less than 3% after one year of storage at +20°C, helping support long-term storage and deployment.
