RS PRO Lithium Thionyl Chloride AA Battery 3.6V

RS PRO Lithium Thionyl Chloride AA Battery

Lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) high energy density AA batteries from our RS PRO range. All cells are hermetically sealed in stainless steel cans (low magnetic signature and superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion). These batteries have been designed for use in applications where a device is used for a long period of time such as utility meters, smoke detectors and alarm systems.
These batteries use lithium thionyl chloride so they have a high energy density, low discharge rate, ideal for lengthy storage periods plus they are fully compliant with IEC60086-4 and IEC60079-11 safety standards. These AA batteries have an operating temperature -60ﾟC → +85ﾟC.

  FAQ’s
  Are Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries Harmful?
  Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries can sometimes leak a substance called potassium hydroxide which is a caustic agent that can cause eye, skin and respiratory irritations. This risk is reduced by not mixing different manufacturer battery types, batteries of different chemistries and by the replacement of all batteries at the same time.
  How to dispose of Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries?
  Recycle responsibly, a wide range of schemes are available.
  
  How to dispose of Alkaline/Lithium Batteries?

  Safety Advice
  Keep out of sight and reach of children.
  Fire, explosion and burn hazard - Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 100ﾟC (212ﾟF), incinerate
  Due to the high terminal voltage (3.6V), they are not suitable as direct replacements for other battery technologies in the same can sizes.
  
  Guidance:
  Always install the batteries correctly as per instruction
  Ensure that the contact points are clean and conductive
  Do not mix different types of battery
  Do not heat or attempt to recharge the battery
  Do not dispose of in a fire
