Tadiran Batteries

What You Need to Know About Tadiran Batteries

Are you tired of constantly replacing batteries in equipment that sits in harsh weather or hard-to-reach places? Tadiran lithium batteries are designed specifically for long-term reliability. Unlike standard household batteries, Tadiran uses specialty lithium thionyl chloride chemistry. This gives them one of the highest energy ratings available, allowing them to power devices for 10 to 20 years or more under normal operating conditions.

Whether you need a battery for remote monitoring gear or a residential security panel, Tadiran cells provide steady performance. Here are key benefits of choosing Tadiran:

• Exceptional Shelf Life: Ultra-low self-discharge rates mean these batteries retain nearly all their power even after sitting on the shelf for years.
• Extreme Temperature Operation: Designed to work reliably in freezing cold or intense heat, from -67°F to +185°F (-55°C to +85°C).
• Stable Operating Voltage: Delivers a consistent 3.6 volts throughout most of its battery lifespan.
• Hermetically Sealed Design: Built with a laser-welded seal to prevent leaks and protect delicate electronic components.

How to Choose the Right Tadiran Battery

Finding the correct Tadiran battery replacement comes down to matching three key details: battery size, voltage, and terminal setup.

• Battery Size: Common industrial sizes include 1/2 AA, 2/3 AA, standard AA, C, and D. Check your old battery casing to confirm the model number (such as TL-5101 or TL-2150).
• Voltage Requirements: Most Tadiran lithium cells output 3.6 volts. Make sure your device requires 3.6V power before installation.
• Terminal Style: Industrial electronics often use specific terminal connectors. Depending on how your battery connects, you may need standard button top ends, solder tabs, or axial wire leads.

We stock a full range of 3.6V Tadiran lithium batteries to ensure you find the right match for your device. All orders are backed by our 60-day return policy. If you need help identifying your battery size or terminal connection, please feel free to contact our friendly battery experts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Tadiran 3.6V AA lithium battery in my everyday electronics?

A: No, you should not use Tadiran 3.6V lithium batteries in standard household electronics like remote controls or flashlights. Standard AA batteries deliver 1.5 volts, whereas Tadiran lithium batteries output 3.6 volts. Placing a 3.6V battery into a 1.5V device can burn out the circuit board and ruin your equipment. Always check your device requirements before purchasing.

Are Tadiran lithium batteries rechargeable?

A: Most Tadiran lithium thionyl chloride batteries are primary (non-rechargeable) single-use cells. You must never attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable lithium battery, as doing so can cause permanent damage or safety hazards. If you require a rechargeable power solution, check your device manual or contact us for guidance.

How long do Tadiran batteries last in storage?

A: Tadiran batteries feature an extremely low self-discharge rate of less than 1% per year when stored at room temperature. This allows them to retain their charge on the shelf for up to 10 to 20 years. They are an ideal choice for emergency backup power and maintenance stock.

What devices commonly use Tadiran batteries?

A: Tadiran batteries are widely used in commercial and industrial equipment. Common applications include smart utility meters (gas, water, electric), security alarm sensors, emergency beacons, medical monitors, memory backup systems (PLC/CMOS), and remote data loggers.
