Electrical characteristics
(typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at +30ºC max.)
Nominal capacity
(at 1.0 A +20ºC 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
according to current drain, temperature and cut-off)
3.2 Ah
Open circuit voltage (at +20ºC)
3.0 V
Nominal voltage (at 0.5 A +20ºC)
2.8 V
Nominal energy
8.96 Wh
Maximum recommended continuous current
(to avoid over-heating)
2.5 A
Pulse capability: Typically up to 5 A.
(The voltage readings may vary according to the pulse characteristics,
the temperature and the cell’s previous history. Fitting the cell with a
capacitor may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
Storage
(recommended)
(possible without leakage)
+30ºC (+86ºF) max
+85ºC (+185ºF) max
Operating temperature range
(Operation above ambient T may lead to reduced capacity and lower
voltage readings at the beginning of pulses. Consult Saft)
