Product Overview

The Saft LSH20‑150 is a high‑power 3.6V Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li‑SOCl₂) primary cell engineered for applications that require very strong pulse currents, high‑rate discharge capability, and extended operational life in extreme environments. As a performance‑enhanced variant of the standard LSH20, the LSH20‑150 is optimized for long‑duration, high‑drain workloads, making it a preferred choice in military, aerospace, industrial IoT, and emergency‑response systems.

Chemistry Profile: Li‑SOCl₂ for High‑Rate, Long‑Life Operation

The LSH20‑150 uses Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li‑SOCl₂) chemistry, chosen for its combination of high energy density, excellent voltage stability, and strong pulse capability. Key characteristics include:

• 3.6V nominal output with stable voltage under load

• High pulse current capability due to spiral‑wound construction

• Very wide operating temperature range, typically −60°C to +85°C

• Low self‑discharge, enabling multi‑year deployments

• Strong cold‑temperature performance for outdoor, aerospace, and arctic environments

This chemistry enables the LSH20‑150 to deliver both instantaneous high current and long‑term reliability in demanding conditions.

Electrical Performance for High‑Drain, Extended‑Life Applications

The LSH20‑150 is engineered for pulse‑intensive, high‑drain workloads where long service life and stable voltage are critical. Its performance profile includes:

• Strong pulse output for RF transmissions, telemetry, and encrypted communications

• High continuous discharge capability for active electronics

• Stable 3.6V voltage under heavy load

• Reliable operation in extreme cold and heat

• Extended storage and operational life with minimal voltage degradation

This makes the LSH20‑150 ideal for systems requiring long‑duration deployment, instant activation, and consistent high‑rate power delivery.

Mechanical and Environmental Durability

The LSH20‑150 is built to withstand harsh industrial and defense environments:

• Hermetically sealed stainless‑steel housing for leak‑proof operation

• High resistance to shock, vibration, and mechanical stress

• Wide temperature tolerance for aerospace, defense, and remote deployments

• Integrated safety vent for controlled pressure management

• Long shelf life suitable for extended standby or storage

These features ensure stable performance even in mission‑critical or remote installations.

Typical Applications

The LSH20‑150 is widely used in sectors that require high‑rate discharge, rugged construction, and long‑term reliability:

• Military radios, beacons, and encrypted communication devices

• Aerospace emergency systems and avionics modules

• High‑power industrial IoT sensors and wireless instrumentation

• Electromechanical actuators and control systems

• Oil & gas instrumentation and pipeline monitoring

• Security and intrusion detection systems

• Remote telemetry, SCADA, and environmental monitoring

• Emergency backup and fail‑safe power modules

These systems benefit from the LSH20‑150’s ability to deliver instantaneous current while maintaining stable performance over long service intervals.

Why Engineers Choose the LSH20‑150

• High‑power Li‑SOCl₂ chemistry with enhanced pulse capability

• Stable 3.6V output under heavy load

• Extended operational life for long‑duration deployments

• Excellent cold‑weather and extreme‑temperature performance

• Rugged stainless‑steel construction for harsh environments

• Predictable safety behavior with controlled venting

• Maintenance‑free operation for sealed or remote systems

The LSH20‑150 is often selected when designers need a high‑power, long‑life primary lithium cell capable of reliable performance in extreme conditions.
