At AceOn, we manufacture lithium thionyl chloride batteries, utilising Saft, Tadrian, and Ultralife cells. But if you’re new to the battery industry, you’re probably wondering what’s so special about this type of battery pack, and how they could help your business.
To help you out, we’ve put together a list of advantages of opting for lithium thionyl chloride batteries, to introduce you to this innovative, high-performing battery solution.
High Voltage
Typically, a lithium primary cell has a voltage of between 1.5 and 3 volts. However, a lithium thionyl chloride battery is higher than this, typically 3.6 volts. This means that the battery is capable of performing at the same level of lithium ion batteries, and the charge is kept constant throughout its usage, which is one of its unique selling points.
Low Currents
We supply lithium thionyl chloride batteries to clients who use batteries in products that require low currents over a sustained period of time. These batteries are ideal for locking cylinders and various metering applications. The fact that lithium thionyl chloride batteries are high density means that these applications can be operated for months or even years without being replaced.
Longevity
Another appealing aspect of lithium thionyl chloride batteries is their shelf life. They come with a self-discharge rate of just 1% per year, which is pretty self-explanatory! The chemistry of the cell is what makes these batteries so long-lasting and durable. Essentially a protective film forms over the lithium anode, resulting in the passivation of the battery cell. Although this process has pros and cons, it’s advantageous from a longevity perspective.
Construction
You can purchase lithium thionyl batteries in several designs and sizes. But regardless of the shape and composition, they will always be high density and long life as they’re constructed to perfection. It’s appropriate to describe the construction of the cells as ‘bobbin like,’ a characteristic that aids their longevity and overall performance.
