Features of Primary Lithium Batteries

Stable Operating Voltage of 3V

Lithium batteries have a high discharge voltage of 3 volts. Thus a single lithium battery can be used to replace two or three conventional silver oxide or manganese batteries (1.5V). The stable operating voltage over as long as 10 years, at room temperature, ensures outstanding performance, quality and reliability.

Primary Lithium Batteries

More Than 95% of Initial Capacity Even After 10 Years

A stable electrolyte, Sanyo's superior manufacturing methods and sealing technology combine to ensure that the tendency of lithium batteries to self-discharge is reduced to a very low level. Even after 10 years of storage at room temperature, more than

95% capacity is retained.

Superior Leakage Resistance

 

Greater Safety (UL approved)

The use of an organic solvent rather than an alkali for the electrolyte significantly minimizes leakage. Futhermore, laser sealing technology also minimizes the risk of electrolyte leakage.

Since Sanyo primary lithium batteries do not contain toxic materials, noxious liquids or gases, they pose no major polution problems. They are UL recognized components (File No. MH12383).
