## Pulse capability: Typically up to 2000 mA 

_(2000 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged cells with 10 µA base current, yield voltage readings above_ 

_3.0 V. 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. Consult Saft)_ 

Maximum recommended continuous current 1300 mA 

_(to maintain cell heating within safe limits. Battery packs may imply lower level of maximum current and may request specific thermal protection. Consult Saft)_

**Typical discharge profiles at + 20°C** 

## **Storage** 

- The storage area should be clean, cool (preferably not exceeding + 30°C), dry and ventilated. 

## **Warning** 

- 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).
