Electrical characteristics
(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max.)
Nominal capacity 17.0 Ah
(at 5 mA + 20°C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut-off)
Open circuit voltage (at + 20°C) 3.67 V
Nominal voltage (at 0.7 mA + 20°C) 3.6 V
Nominal energy 61.2 Wh
Pulse capability: Typically up to 400 mA
(400 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged cells with 10 µA
base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V. The readings may vary according to the pulse
characteristics, the temperature, and the cell’s previous history. Fitting the cell with a capacitor
may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
Maximum recommended continuous current 250 mA
(to maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower
level of maximum current and may request specific thermal protection.
Consult Saft)
Storage (recommended) + 30°C (+ 86°F) max
(for more severe conditions, consult Saft)
Operating temperature range - 60°C/+ 85°C
(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and (- 76°F/+ 185°F)
lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
Physical characteristics
Diameter (max) 33.4 mm (1.32 in)
Height (max) 60.2 or 61.6 mm
(2.37 in or 2.42 in)
depending on finish type
Typical weight 90 g (3.2 oz)
Li metal content approx. 4.5 g
Available termination suffix
CN, CNR radial tabs
CNA (AX) axial leads
FL flying leads... etc.
Optional upon request
