High energy density
2∕3 A-size bobbin cell

Benefits 2
Cell size reference ∕3 A
l 
High voltage response, stable
during most of the lifetime of the Electrical characteristics
application (typical values relative to cells stored for one year or less at + 30°C max.)
l 
Wide operating temperature
Nominal capacity 2.1 Ah
range (-  60°C/+  85°C) (at 3 mA + 20°C 2.0 V cut-off. The capacity restored by the cell varies
l 
Low self-discharge rate according to current drain, temperature and cut-off).
(less than 1 % after 1 year of Open circuit voltage (at + 20°C) 3.67 V
storage at + 20°C) Nominal voltage (at 0.2 mA + 20°C) 3.6 V
l Easy integration into compact
Nominal energy 7.56 Wh
systems
Pulse capability: Typically up to 120 mA
(120 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20°C from undischarged cells with 10 μA
Key features base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V. The readings may vary according to the pulse
l Hermetic glass-to-metal sealing characteristics, the temperature, and the cell’s previous history. Fitting the cell with a capacitor
may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
