Tadiran TL-5902/S 3.6V 1/2 AA 1.2Ah lithium battery
The Tadiran TL-5902/S is a 3.6V 1/2 AA lithium thionyl chloride cell delivering 1.2 Ah capacity with a button-top termination. It suits industrial electronics, utility metering, security sensors and memory-backup circuits that require long-term primary power in a compact ER14250 form factor. The chemistry provides a stable high operating voltage across most of the discharge curve and a shelf life exceeding 10 years with less than 1% annual self-discharge at +20°C.
Integration into a 14.5 mm by 25.2 mm footprint
The cylindrical cell measures 14.5 mm in diameter and 25.2 mm in height, weighing 9.6 g, so it fits standard 1/2 AA holders without adapter hardware. Continuous loads must stay at or below 50 mA while pulse demands up to 100 mA are supported, freeing the designer from adding parallel cells for brief current spikes. Operation is rated from -60°C to +85°C, allowing outdoor or cold-chain deployment without thermal management, and the inorganic electrolyte is non-flammable and non-pressurised at ambient temperature.
Direct replacements simplify procurement
The TL-5902/S is compatible with Tadiran TL-4902, TL-2150, TL-5101, TL-5902 and TL-5111 models as well as Saft LS-14250 and LS-14250c, Toshiba ER3v and Sonnenschein SL-350/S, SL-750/S and SL-150/S references. This cross-reference list lets purchasing consolidate stock around a single part number instead of qualifying multiple vendor codes. The cell is not rechargeable; attempting to recharge it will cause permanent damage and safety risk.

Questions about this item
What continuous current can the TL-5902/S sustain without exceeding its 50 mA limit?
The maximum recommended continuous current is 50 mA; drawing more will reduce capacity and may damage the cell.
How much does the cell heat up during all-day operation at the rated 50 mA draw?
Lithium thionyl chloride chemistry generates minimal heat at 50 mA; the battery operates reliably across the -60 °C to +85 °C range.
Which devices already accept the 14.5 mm diameter button-top form factor?
Compatible models include Tadiran TL-4902, TL-2150, TL-5101, TL-5111, TL-5902, Saft LS-14250 and LS-14250c, Toshiba ER3v, and Sonnenschein SL-350/S, SL-750/S, SL-150/S.
