Non-rechargeable 1/2 AA lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) pulse-type battery, specifically selected for use with most Lascar data loggers (excluding EL-USB-1-PRO, EL-USB-1-RCG, EL-USB-LITE & EL-USB-RT).
This battery is the recommended option for compatible Lascar devices, having been selected and tested to meet the electrical and pulse current requirements of the product. The pulse-type (bobbin construction) design ensures reliable performance in low-power applications that require periodic high-current pulses, such as data logging and transmission events.
With a high and stable nominal voltage of 3.6V and low self-discharge (typically <1% per year at room temperature), this battery supports long-term deployments and consistent operation. Its hermetically sealed construction enhances reliability in demanding environments.
Key features:
• 1/2 AA lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) battery
• Pulse-type (bobbin) design for data logging applications
• 3.6V nominal voltage
• Low self-discharge for extended service life
• Stable output for reliable device performance
• Wide operating temperature range
• Hermetically sealed for enhanced safety and durability
For best performance and to ensure correct operation of your Lascar device, we recommend using this specified battery type.
