Saft is committed to the highest standards of environmental stewardship. Implementing this commitment to minimise the impact of its products and operations on the environment means that Saft gives priority to recycled over unrecycled raw materials, reduces its plant releases into the environment year after year, minimizes water usage, and ensures that its customers have recycling solutions for their batteries at the end of their lives. Regarding industrial Ni-Cd batteries, Saft has had partnerships for many years with collection companies in most EU countries as well as in North America. This collection network receives and dispatches our customers’ batteries at the end of their lives to fully approved recycling facilities, in compliance with the Laws governing transboundary waste shipments. Saft offers these services free of charge to its customers. Please find a list of our collection points on our web site: www.saftbatteries.com In other countries, Saft assists its customers in finding environmentally sound recycling solutions. Please contact your sales representative for further information. …exceeding your expectations + Saft lithium cell series: performance data Enclosed data relates to batteries aged up to 12 months and properly stored. Consult Saft regarding specific pulse conditions or usage following prolonged storage and/or exposure to extreme temperatures. The LS cells are cylindrical and based on the high-energy concentric “bobbin” electrode configuration. They are available in standard and “W” versions according to the elevated temperature characteristics of the envisioned applications. Whatever your application, you will probably find a Saft lithium battery able to meet your particular requirements. If not, custom-made solutions can be developed within your time-to-market constraints. Glass-to-metal seal Lithium SOCl2 liquid - Nominal capacity at +20ºC and 2 V discharge cut-off (continuous current). - aximum recommended pulse current: varies according to pulse characteristics (duration, frequency), M temperature conditions, cell storage conditions prior to usage and the application’s acceptable minimum voltage. The use of parallel capacitor to enhance the voltage at the beginning of pulses might be recommended. Consult Saft. - ransport status: according to UN Model Regulations Ref. ST/SG/AC.10/1 Revision 15 (2007) and T Manual of Tests and Criteria Ref. ST/SG/AC.10/11 Revision 4, 2003. Carbon catalyst The LSH, LO/G and LM/M cells are also cylindrical but use the power-optimized “coiled” and “spiral” electrode constructions. The Li-SO2 cells are available in several versions: “SX” and “G” series, “SHX” high pulse capability series and “SXC” high capacity series. Can Bobbin construction + Glass-to-metal seal Corrosion-proof containers, hermetic sealing based on rugged glass-to-metal seals and TIG or laser welds, built-in safety vents and individual protection fuses are design features common to most of Saft’s lithium cells.
