Lithium (Li)
is a light (density 0.5) and highly energetic (3.86 ampere hour/gram)
anode material. During battery use, it releases a flow of electrons
at the negative pole of the cell and gets converted into lithium dithionate
(Li2S2O4) crystals.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a non flammable low freezing point (-73°C)
inorganic gas maintained in the liquid state under pressure within
cells. To react at a sufficient pace within batteries, it needs to
be assisted with a carbon catalyst.
High and stable voltage output
Open circuit voltage : 3.0 V
Operating voltage > 3.6 V in most conditions, stable during
most of battery lifetime
Available as button cell or with axial leads, pin mounts or
tabs
Wide current and operating T range capabilities
High electrode areas brings pulse capabilities up to unrivaled
levels (10-30 Amps)
Superior capacity in cold conditions
Expose up to 95°C possible without leakage
Reduced self-discharge
Less than 3 % of capacity loss per year of storage
