Electrical characteristics
(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max.)
Nominal capacity
(at 3 mA + 20°C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut-off)
Open circuit voltage
Nominal voltage
Pulse capability: Typically up to 250 mA (250 mA/0.1 second pulses,
drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged cells with 10 µA base
current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V. The readings may vary according
to the pulse characteristics, the temperature, and the cell's previous history.
Fitting the cell with a capacitor may be recommended in severe conditions.
Consult Saft)
Maximum recommended continuous current
(Higher currents are possible. Consult Saft)
Storage
Operating temperature range
(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and
lower voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
