- 6 V stable voltage through most of service life
- 5 Ah capacity among the highest for this size
- 10+ year shelf life with under 1 % annual self-discharge
- Operates from -60 °C to +85 °C for extreme environments
- Button-top 2/3 AA fits TL-2155, TL-5155, TL-5955 and XL-055F
Application fit
The Tadiran TL-5955/S is a 3.6V 2/3 AA lithium thionyl chloride cell delivering 1.5Ah for low-current, long-life devices. It suits utility meters, alarms, tracking beacons and industrial sensors that draw steady microampere loads with occasional pulses up to 150mA.
Deciding specification
Maximum recommended continuous current is 75mA with a 150mA pulse capability, so the cell fits only designs that stay well below those limits. It is not for high-drain electronics, motor drives or any circuit that regularly exceeds 75mA continuous draw.
Accessory impact
No accessories, holders, cables or software are included; the bare button-top cell is the complete shipment. Buyers must source a compatible PCB mount or battery holder separately and verify polarity before soldering.

Questions about this item
How long will the 1.5 Ah capacity actually run a device drawing 75 mA?
At the maximum recommended continuous current of 75 mA the 1.5 Ah cell delivers roughly 20 hours before voltage drops.
What does the button-top termination mean for electrical connection?
The button-top positive contact mates with standard 2/3 AA holders that accept a protruding tip; soldering the terminals is not recommended.
Will the 14.5 mm diameter and 33.5 mm height fit my existing 2/3 AA battery compartment?
Yes — the cell measures 14.5 mm diameter by 33.5 mm height, matching the standard 2/3 AA form factor used by the TL-5955/S.
