Product Description
The Saft LS 14500 3.6V AA Lithium Battery is a high-energy primary cell designed for long-term reliability in industrial, commercial, and professional applications. Built with lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) chemistry and a bobbin construction, this battery delivers stable voltage and exceptional shelf life, often lasting over a decade in field equipment.
Key Benefits:
- Extended operating life: Low self-discharge rate (under 1% per year at +20°C) supports 10–20+ year applications.
- Wide temperature tolerance: Performs from -60°C to +85°C for reliable use in harsh environments.
- Certified & compliant: Meets UL 1642, IEC 60086-4, UN 3090/3091 transport standards, and RoHS/REACH environmental requirements.
- Durable construction: Hermetic glass-to-metal seal, stainless steel can, and non-flammable electrolyte ensure long-term safety and performance.
Common Applications:
- Utility metering & AMR (automatic meter reading)
- IoT devices and connected sensors
- Alarms and security systems
- Asset & GPS tracking systems
- Medical devices
- Industrial electronics
- Automotive and professional electronics
Important Note:
Do not charge this battery. Attempting to recharge may cause fire or explosion.
Alternative Versions:

Q: Is the Saft LS 14500 battery rechargeable (like Li-ion 14500)?
A: No. The LS 14500 is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) cell. It is not the same as a rechargeable Li-ion 14500 cell. Attempting to recharge it is extremely dangerous and can cause fire or explosion.
Q: How long does the LS 14500 battery last?
A: In typical low-drain applications, the LS 14500 can last 10–20+ years thanks to its extremely low self-discharge rate, which is less than 1% per year of storage at room temperature (+20°C).
Q: What are the maximum continuous and pulse currents for this cell?
A: The maximum recommended continuous current is 50 mA. The cell has a pulse capability of up to 250 mA. For applications with very high pulse currents or severe conditions, fitting the cell with a capacitor may be necessary.
Q: What environments can the LS 14500 operate in?
A: The battery operates reliably in a very wide range of extreme temperatures, from -60°C up to +85°C (-76°F/+185°F), making it suitable for outdoor, industrial, and remote applications.
Q: Is the LS 14500 safe for transport?
A: Yes. The LS 14500 complies with UN 3090 (Lithium metal batteries) and UN 3091 (Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment or packed with equipment) transport regulations. It is designed to meet major quality and safety standards, including UL 1642.

Exactly the product we need.
As advertised. Delivery as stated. Very professional and customer friendly.
The correct item, right on time. That was easy!
I purchased a new set of scales and I thought it took a regular AA battery. Upon closer look it is a 3.6 volt, which looks like a AA....but isn't. I could not find this battery anywhere locally so I went online. I found it right away at Battery Mart and delivery was super fast! I will definitely be using Battery Mart again! It's the little things in life....
Very easy to order. Priced right. (Less than half of local battery store which was a rip off). It arrived in 3 days with std. cost shipping. Excellent experience. I'll be back to them.
