- High voltage response, stable during most of the lifetime of the application
- Wide operating temperature range (-60°C / + 85°C)
- Low self-discharge compatible with long operating life (less than 1% after 1 year of storage at + 20°C)
- Superior resistance to corrosion
- Low magnetic signature
- Bobbin construction
- Well controlled passivation
- Hermetic construction with glass-tometal seal
- Stainless steel can
- Non-flammable electrolyte
- RoHS and REACH compliance
- Made in France
- Safety: UL 1642, IEC 60086-4
- ATEX: IEC 60079-11 part 10.5 (T4 temperature rating at + 40°C)
- Transport: UN 3090 and UN 3091
- Quality: ISO 9001, Saft Excellence System, continuous program
- Utility Metering
- Internet of Things

- 1Typical values relative to cells stored up to one year at + 30°C max.
- 2Sleeved cell.
- 3Dependent upon current drain, temperature, cut-off and cell orientation.
4Under 300 mA / 0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 minutes at + 20°C from undischarged cells during 24 h, with 10 µA base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V after initial stabilisation. 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 or for high pulse currents. Consult Saft.
5Operation above ambient temperature may lead to reduced capacity and lower voltage readings. Consult Saft.
- 6For more severe conditions, consult Saft.

- The storage area should be clean, cool (preferably not exceeding +30°C), dry and ventilated.
- Fire, explosion and burn hazard.
- Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), incinerate, or expose contents to water.
- Do not solder directly to the cell (use tabbed cell versions instead).
- Do not remove the cells from their original packing before use.
- Do not store the cells in bulk to avoid accidental short circuiting.
- Do not mix new and used cells or cells from different origins.
- Mind the polarities of the cell.
