High-Power Performance

The M 52 HR is designed for equipment that requires more than a simple low-drain primary battery. Its spiral construction provides high-power performance, while the chemistry offers stable voltage and good performance at low temperatures. SAFT’s earlier M 52 HR documentation also specifies pulse capability of up to 5A, depending on pulse characteristics, temperature and application conditions.

Reliable Industrial Construction

The battery uses a hermetically sealed stainless-steel container and incorporates a safety vent and shut-down separator. Its low self-discharge characteristics make it suitable for equipment requiring long storage periods and extended service life.

Typical Applications

The SAFT M 52 HR is suitable for applications such as:

  • Radio communication equipment
  • Tracking systems
  • M2M communication
  • Security and alarm systems
  • Utility and industrial metering
  • Emergency location equipment
  • ELTs and EPIRBs
  • Medical equipment
  • Industrial monitoring equipment
  • Professional electronic equipment
  • Oil & gas monitoring equipment

The M 52 HR has been documented for radio communications, alarms and security, tracking, M2M communication, medical equipment and oil & gas applications.

Important: The M 52 HR is a primary, non-rechargeable lithium battery. Actual current capability and service life depend on discharge current, pulse profile, temperature, cut-off voltage and the equipment design.
