SAFT LS17330 3.6V Lithium Thionyl Chloride Cell
The SAFT LS17330 is a 3.6 Volt 2/3 A primary lithium battery built with thionyl chloride chemistry. It delivers a nominal capacity of 2100 mAh in a hermetically sealed bobbin construction. This cell suits engineers and technicians specifying long-life power for remote sensors, utility meters, or industrial data loggers.
Replaces older ½ AA primary cells
Upgrading makes sense when an application demands stable voltage over years rather than months. The low self-discharge rate preserves capacity during extended storage before deployment. The non-flammable electrolyte and UL recognition support designs that must meet strict safety standards.
Handles continuous low-current loads up to 120 mA
The cell operates reliably from -60°C to +85°C, maintaining performance in harsh outdoor or industrial environments. Capacity drops when sustained current exceeds the rated pulse capability. It is not suited for high-drain devices requiring continuous current above the specified limit.

Questions about this item
Will the 16.5 mm diameter and 33.4 mm height fit my ½ AA battery compartment?
The cell measures 16.5 mm diameter by 33.4 mm height, matching the standard ½ AA form factor used in many industrial and medical devices.
Do I need to solder tabs onto the LS17330 or can I use a battery holder?
The battery has bare concentric electrodes; use a proper ½ AA holder with spring contacts — soldering directly to the can risks damaging the hermetic glass-to-metal seal.
How long before the 2100 mAh capacity drops enough to need replacement?
Self-discharge is under 1 % per year at 20 °C, giving up to 25 years shelf life; in active use the cell delivers stable 3.6 V until the 2.1 Ah capacity is exhausted.
