Non-Rechargeable Lithium Chemistries

For demanding industrial products, non-rechargeable lithium chemistries offer proven performance with the highest available energy densities and longest service lives.

Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCL₂)

Can a battery last for 25 years? Yes! Lithium Thionyl Chloride offers a high energy, compact power source, proven to last for 25 years. With the addition of Tadiran HLC devices, high power capability is added without increasing self-discharge. Widely used in demanding industries, Lithium Thionyl Chloride cells are found in equipment for explosive atmospheres (ATEX) and other hazardous and rugged environments. Typical applications include dataloggers, autonomous vehicles and smart meters.

Lithium Manganese-Dioxide (Li-MnO₂)

Lithium manganese-dioxide cells are a light weight and high energy density primary battery with a wide range of uses. Developed for digital cameras and widely used in consumer electronics, they have a long shelf life and good energy density. This makes them invaluable in applications combining requirements for a long service life and availablity direct to consumers. Although initially designed as a range of cells suitable for direct sale to consumers, a series of products have built up in medical and industrial fields that use lithium manganese-dioxide cells in larger, custom-built packs.

Lithium Iron Disulfide (LeFeS₂)

These batteries differ from alkaline equivalents both chemically and in their internal construction, however they are manufactured as drop in replacements for standard AA, AAA size batteries. These offer greater power capability than similar single use batteries, cope better with low temperature and are capable of providing higher voltage and flatter discharge curve. Other advantages include lighter weight and long shelf life when properly stored.
