Tadiran Disposal Guide for Lithium Batteries
Lithium Battery Information Sheet
Product Overview
In demanding industrial environments, the Tadiran TL-5920 stands as a robust energy solution, engineered for longevity, reliability, and high performance. This C-size lithium battery is a cornerstone of Tadiran’s commitment to advanced battery chemistry and rugged design.
Core Technology: Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LiSOCl₂)
The TL-5920 leverages Tadiran’s lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl₂) chemistry, known for its high energy density and ultra-low self-discharge rate. With a nominal voltage of 3.6V and a capacity of 8.5Ah, it delivers consistent power over extended periods—even in extreme temperatures ranging from −55°C to +85°C.
Key features include:
- Bobbin cell construction for high capacity and stability
- Hermetic glass-to-metal seal for leak-proof durability
- Non-flammable electrolyte for enhanced safety
- Fast voltage recovery after long-term storage
Applications and Use Cases
The TL-5920 is ideal for applications where battery replacement is costly or impractical:
- Utility Meters — Electric, gas, and water meters requiring long-term autonomous operation
- Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) — Reliable power for remote data transmission
- RF and Sensor Systems — Supports low-power wireless communication and environmental monitoring
- Asset Tracking — Ensures uninterrupted tracking in harsh or remote conditions
- Industrial Security Systems — Maintains uptime for intrusion detection and surveillance
- Automotive Electronics — Powers toll tags, sensors, and embedded systems
- Ultra-Low Power (ULP) Devices — Optimized for minimal current draw over long durations
Why Choose TL-5920?
- High Pulse Capability — Up to 400 mA for short bursts
- Low Self-Discharge — Less than 1% per year at ambient temperature
- Long Shelf Life — Retains voltage response even after 10 years of storage
- Compact and Lightweight — 49.5g with a 26cc volume
