RS PRO Lithium Thionyl Chloride AA Battery 3.6V

Lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) high energy density AA batteries from our RS PRO range. All cells are hermetically sealed in stainless steel cans (low magnetic signature and superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion). These batteries have been designed for use in applications where a device is used for a long period of time such as utility meters, smoke detectors and alarm systems.
These batteries use lithium thionyl chloride so they have a high energy density, low discharge rate, ideal for lengthy storage periods plus they are fully compliant with IEC60086-4 and IEC60079-11 safety standards. These AA batteries have an operating temperature -60ﾟC → +85ﾟC.

Lithium batteries what are the advantages?
• Nominal voltage of 3.6 V, greater than conventional cells
• High temperature range −60ﾟC to +85ﾟC
• High energy density, the highest of any primary battery

• High voltage response
• Low self-discharge rate for extended life
• Easy integration into compact systems
• Superior resistance to corrosion
• Non-flammable
• UL Component Recognition
• Non-rechargeable and should not be recharged

Typical Applications:
Lithium Thionyl Chloride speciality size batteries are used in electronic devices that require a small, compact source of power. Example applications include:
• Utility metering
• Automatic meter reading
• Tracking systems
• System Backups
• Real-Time Clocks
• Memory Backups
• Clock Supports
• Automotive Electronics
• Professional Electronics

FAQ’s
Are Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Harmful?
Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries can sometimes leak a substance called potassium hydroxide which is a caustic agent that can cause eye, skin and respiratory irritations. This risk is reduced by not mixing different manufacturer battery types, batteries of different chemistries and by the replacement of all batteries at the same time.
How to dispose of Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries?
Recycle responsibly, a wide range of schemes are available.

How to dispose of Alkaline/Lithium Batteries?
Recycle responsibly, a wide range of schemes are available

Safety Advice
• Keep out of sight and reach of children.
• Fire, explosion and burn hazard - Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100ﾟC (212ﾟF), incinerate
• Due to the high terminal voltage (3.6V), they are not suitable as direct replacements for other battery technologies in the same can sizes.

Guidance:
• Always install the batteries correctly as per instruction
• Ensure that the contact points are clean and conductive
• Do not mix different types of battery
• Do not heat or attempt to recharge the battery
• Do not dispose of in a fire
