Lithium power at your service Lithium is a light metal which exhibits an exceptional specific capacity (3.86 Ah/gram) and unique electrochemical characteristics. Combining lithium with manganese dioxide (MnO2) powder or low-freezing point liquid cathode materials such as thionyl chloride (SOCl2) or sulfur dioxide (SO2), results in batteries with high energy, low weight, reduced selfdischarge rate, and ability to operate under extreme conditions. Saft’s lithium products Three lithium chemistries are currently available: • Lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) in LS/LSH 3.6 V cells, • Lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-SO2) in LO/G 3.0 V cells, • Lithium-manganese dioxide (Li-MnO2) in LM/M 3.0 V cells. For more than 32 years, Saft has pioneered the development and production of primary lithium cells and battery packs in Europe, North America and Asia/ Pacific. Autonomy, power, voltage, shape, weight, service life, price... Saft knows how to tailor battery solutions you can count on.
