Product Overview

The Saft LM 17500 is a compact, high‑reliability Lithium Manganese Dioxide (Li‑MnO₂) primary cell engineered for long‑life, moderate‑drain industrial applications. With its 3.0V nominal output, strong pulse capability, and rugged construction, the LM 17500 is widely used in IoT sensors, metering, defense electronics, medical devices, and tracking systems that demand stable, maintenance‑free power over many years.

Li‑MnO₂ Chemistry and Its Industrial Advantages

The LM 17500 leverages Li‑MnO₂ chemistry, which provides a performance profile optimized for devices requiring both long‑term energy and intermittent high‑current bursts. This chemistry offers:

• High pulse capability without external capacitors

• Stable 3.0V output across most of the discharge curve

• Excellent intrinsic safety due to the stable Li‑MnO₂ system

• Good performance at moderate to high discharge rates

• Wide operating temperature range, typically −40°C to +70°C

• Low self‑discharge, enabling multi‑year deployments

This makes the LM 17500 ideal for compact devices that must operate reliably in remote or sealed environments.

Key Performance Characteristics

The Saft LM 17500 delivers a strong balance of energy density, pulse performance, and environmental durability:

• High capacity in a compact format for extended service life

• Reliable pulse performance for RF transmissions, sensing, and telemetry

• Hermetically sealed construction for leak‑proof reliability

• Non‑pressurized, non‑flammable design for enhanced safety

• Long shelf life with minimal voltage drop during storage

This combination supports both continuous low‑drain operation and periodic high‑drain events without compromising longevity.

Common Applications for the Saft LM 17500

The LM 17500 is widely used across industries requiring long‑term, maintenance‑free power in compact devices:

• Utility metering (AMR/AMI)

• Industrial IoT sensors and wireless modules

• Defense and aerospace electronics

• Medical and diagnostic equipment

• Asset tracking and geolocation systems

• Security and intrusion detection devices

• Automotive telematics and embedded systems

• Environmental and agricultural monitoring networks

These applications benefit from the LM 17500’s ability to deliver stable voltage and dependable pulse performance over long operational lifetimes.

Why Engineers and OEMs Choose the LM 17500

• High pulse capability for RF and sensor‑driven workloads

• Stable 3.0V output for sensitive electronics

• Low self‑discharge for long‑term storage and deployment

• Wide temperature tolerance for harsh industrial environments

• Proven reliability in mission‑critical systems

• Maintenance‑free operation for sealed or remote devices

The LM 17500 is often selected when designers need a compact, safe, and pulse‑capable Li‑MnO₂ power source that can operate for years without maintenance.
