Product Description
When your equipment needs to hold its memory or keep running through years of demanding conditions, the power source behind it has to be something you can count on. The Saft LS14250-3PFRP is built for exactly that kind of job. This 1/2 AA lithium cell delivers 3.6 volts and 1,200 mAh of capacity in a compact, board-mountable package — giving engineers and technicians a reliable long-term solution for memory backup, industrial controls, and other low-drain applications.
Ready to Mount, Right Out of the Box
The "-3PFRP" designation tells you a lot about how this cell is designed to be used. It comes equipped with three PC pins for direct soldering onto a printed circuit board — one pin on the negative terminal and two pins on the positive terminal, spaced 10mm apart. There's no need for a separate battery holder or adapter. Just solder it down, and it's part of the circuit. This makes installation clean, secure, and well-suited for automated assembly environments.
A Shelf Life That Works as Hard as You Do
One of the most practical advantages of lithium thionyl chloride chemistry is how little energy it loses just sitting on a shelf or waiting inside a device. The LS14250-3PFRP holds its charge exceptionally well over time, giving it a shelf life of up to 10 years. That kind of longevity is a real benefit in applications where you're not regularly swapping batteries — think PLCs, real-time clocks, utility meters, or backup systems that may sit dormant for long stretches before being called into action.
Stable Voltage When It Matters Most
Memory backup applications are particularly sensitive to voltage fluctuations. A dip in power at the wrong moment can mean lost settings, corrupted data, or an unplanned reset. The LS14250-3PFRP delivers a steady, consistent 3.6 volts throughout most of its discharge cycle, so the equipment it powers stays stable and reliable from the moment it's installed to the very end of its service life.
Built for Extremes
Industrial environments aren't always climate-controlled, and this cell is built with that reality in mind. The LS14250-3PFRP operates across a wide temperature range:
- Operating temperature: -76°F to +185°F (-60°C to +85°C)
- Compact size: 0.56" diameter x 1.00" long
- Stainless steel housing for added durability
Whether it's installed in outdoor equipment, a cold storage facility, or an industrial cabinet that runs hot, this cell is designed to keep performing without complaint.
Trusted by Industry
Saft is a globally recognized name in professional-grade battery technology, with products used in applications ranging from utility metering and security systems to transportation and defense. The LS14250 platform is one of their most widely deployed industrial cells, and the PC pin configuration makes it a natural fit for OEM designs and board-level replacements alike. If you're maintaining or designing equipment that calls for a 1/2 AA lithium cell with radial pins, this is one of the most dependable options available.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "3PFRP" mean in the part number?
The "3PF" indicates this cell has three PC (printed circuit) pins for board-level soldering. The "RP" stands for reverse polarity — meaning this version has two pins on the positive terminal and one pin on the negative terminal. This is the opposite of the standard 3PF configuration, so it's important to verify pin orientation before ordering to make sure it matches your circuit board layout.
What is this battery commonly used for?
The LS14250-3PFRP is widely used in memory backup applications, PLCs (programmable logic controllers), real-time clocks, industrial automation equipment, utility meters, security systems, and other low-drain electronics that require a long-lasting, stable power source directly on a circuit board.
How long will this battery last in use?
Service life depends on the current draw of the application. This cell is optimized for low-drain, long-duration use and can power compatible devices for several years under normal operating conditions. When stored unused, it retains its charge for up to 10 years thanks to its very low self-discharge rate.
Can this battery be used in extreme temperatures?
Yes. The LS14250-3PFRP is rated for operation between -76°F and +185°F (-60°C to +85°C), making it well-suited for outdoor installations, industrial machinery, and other environments where temperatures can vary significantly.
Is this the same as the Saft LS14250-3PF?
They are the same cell with the same voltage, capacity, and chemistry — the difference is pin polarity. The 3PF has two pins on the negative terminal and one on the positive, while the 3PFRP (reverse polarity) has two pins on the positive and one on the negative. Always confirm the polarity configuration matches your board before purchasing.
What is the warranty on this battery?
This battery is covered under a DOA (Dead on Arrival) warranty. If the battery arrives non-functional, we'll make it right.
