Description ▼
The Saft LS 17500 is a primary (non-rechargeable) A-size 3.6 V lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) bobbin cell with a button top. Official typical capacity is 3.6 Ah (3600 mAh) at 3 mA, +20 °C, to a 2.0 V cut-off. It is built for long-term, low-drain applications — typically 5 to 20+ years — and is the replaceable cell used in the SENSY-ONE AirBee CO2 and climate monitor.
Warning: This is a primary cell and is not rechargeable. Fire, explosion, and burn hazard. Do not recharge, short-circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F), incinerate, or expose the contents to water. Do not solder directly to the cell, and do not place it in a lithium-ion charger.
KEY FEATURES
- 3.6 V nominal Li-SOCl2 chemistry (3.67 V open-circuit voltage at +20 °C)
- 3.6 Ah (3600 mAh) nominal capacity; nominal energy 12.96 Wh
- A-size bobbin construction with a button-top terminal (bulk cell)
- Wide operating temperature range: −60 °C to +85 °C (−76 °F to +185 °F)
- Low self-discharge: less than 1% per year of storage at +20 °C (after 1 year)
- Hermetic glass-to-metal seal, stainless steel container, and non-flammable electrolyte
- High energy density (1139 Wh/l and 589 Wh/kg)
- Maximum recommended continuous current 100 mA; pulse capability up to 250 mA

What's Included
- 1 × Saft LS 17500 A-size 3.6 V 3600 mAh lithium-thionyl chloride bobbin button-top primary cell
NOTES
- This is a primary (non-rechargeable) cell. Do not attempt to recharge it or place it in a charger.
- Do not short-circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F), incinerate, or expose the contents to water. Do not solder directly to the cell (use tabbed versions if soldering is required).
- Store in a clean, cool, dry, and ventilated area, preferably not exceeding +30 °C.
- Capacity and voltage depend on current drain, temperature, cut-off voltage, and cell orientation. Values above are Saft typical figures from the LS 17500 technical datasheet (edition August 2021).
- A compatible replacement cell for the SENSY-ONE AirBee CO2 and climate monitor (a battery is included with AirBee).
