LTC batteries are known for high cell voltage (3.6V), wide temperature range (-55°C to +85°C, up to +130°C for some series), high energy density, and long shelf life. The design ensures safety and reliability, with a hermetically sealed case and a unique chemical reaction that prevents pressure build-up.
The LTC batteries offer high energy density, superior shelf life, and reliability. They are designed with safety features to prevent strong discharge currents and heat generation. The chemical reaction involves a lithium anode and a carbon cathode, with a non-aqueous electrolyte that acts as both an ion transport medium and a depolarizer.
The batteries have a long shelf life due to a protective LiCl layer on the anode, preventing capacity loss. Voltage delay may occur under high loads or after extended storage, but this is not an issue in low-current applications.
- SL-500 Series: Features an extended temperature range up to +130 °C, with a somewhat smaller capacity compared to the SL-700 series.
- SL-700/SL-2700 (iXtra) Series: Designed for enhanced start and fast voltage recovery, with improved voltage delay behavior at ambient and elevated temperatures.
- SL-800/2800 Series (XOL): Offers more capacity, extra low self-discharge, and low passivation during long-term use.

Warnings are provided regarding the potential hazards of fire, explosion, and severe burns. Users are advised not to charge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C, incinerate, or short circuit the batteries.
TLM batteries are ideal for use in eCall systems, surgical instruments, and military applications due to their high reliability and performance under extreme conditions. They are designed to deliver power even after long storage periods, making them suitable for emergency systems.
The TLI series of batteries are designed for long-term use in harsh environments, representing a significant advancement in rechargeable lithium-ion technology. Unlike standard lithium-ion cells, which have limitations such as short operating life, high self-discharge, and limited temperature range, TLI batteries offer extended service life and improved performance under extreme conditions.
- Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
- Short-term storage up to +90°C
- High current pulse capability: up to 5 A
- Low self-discharge: less than 5% per year
- Extended cycle life: up to 5000 cycles
- Long operating time: 10 years
- Charging possible at extreme temperatures
- Hermetically sealed with glass-to-metal seal
- Certified safety (UL)
The TLI series uses a constant current/constant voltage (CCCV) charging principle. Charging is done with a constant current until the maximum voltage is reached, then the current decreases to maintain constant voltage. Charging time varies with temperature, taking longer at extreme temperatures.
TLI batteries are suitable for applications requiring constant power supply under high current pulses, such as bidirectional wireless communication modules and eCall systems in vehicles. These batteries can operate under severe conditions, ensuring functionality even at low temperatures.
For safety, TLI cells should be protected by a PTC on the battery or PC-board. Recommended PTC types are SRP120 and SRP200. TLI batteries lack integrated overcharge protection, so a customer-designed protection circuit is necessary, subject to Tadiran's approval.
Compared to standard 18650 lithium-ion cells, TLI-1550 batteries offer superior power, lower self-discharge, and a wider operating temperature range. They also have a longer operating life and can be charged at extreme temperatures.
Performance data includes discharge curves at various temperatures and cycling performance, demonstrating the battery's capability to maintain capacity over numerous cycles and under different load conditions.
Users are cautioned against disassembling, heating above 100°C, short-circuiting, incinerating, or exposing the battery contents to water. Charging should not exceed 4.1 V, and guidelines should be followed to ensure safety.
