Wireless Monitoring Solution
Electrical characteristics Nominal capacity: 3.6 Ah for batteries stored for up to one year at
temperatures less than 30°C.
Operating temperature range - 60°C/+ 85°C (- 76°F/+ 185°F)
Operation above ambient temperature or below -20°C may lead to
reduced capacity and lower voltage readings at the beginning of radio
pulses.
Physical characteristics: Diameter (max) 17.1 mm (0.67 in); height (max) 50.9 mm (2.00 in;
typical weight 21.9 g (0.8 oz); Lithium metal content approximately
0.9 g.
Construction and visual aspect The LS 17500 cell is constructed using concentric electrode “bobbin”
technology. Cell is hermetically sealed with a sturdy glass-to-metal seal
(≤ 10-7 atm.cc/sec under 1 atm. He). When inspected by the naked
eye, the LS 17500 cell should not show any trace of dents, swelling,
corrosion or electrolyte leakage. Marking should be readable.
Storage Before use, the LS 17500 cell should be stored in dry and cool
conditions, at a temperature preferably not exceeding + 30°C. Storage
at higher temperature is possible but it may later affect cell capacity and
its ability to exhibit proper start-up voltage characteristics.
Battery safety tips 1. Do not remove the batteries from their original packing before use.
2. Do not store the batteries in bulk in order to avoid accidental short
circuiting.
3. Do not heat above 120°C or incinerate.
4. Do not disassemble.
5. Do not recharge.
6. Do not solder directly on the battery.
7. Do not mix new and used batteries or batteries from different
origins.
8. Respect the polarities of the battery.
9. Do not short-circuit.
