Main applications
q

Pulse capability: Typically up to 700 mA (700 mA/0.1 second pulses, drained every 2 mn at + 20 C from undischarged cells with 10 A base current, yield voltage readings above 3.0 V. The readings may vary according to the pulse characteristics, the temperature, and the cell's previous history. Fitting the cell with a capacitor may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft) Continuous current permitting 50% of the nominal capacity to be achieved at + 20C with 2.0V cut off. (Higher currents possible, consult Saft) Storage (recommended) (for more severe conditions, consult Saft) 400 mA + 30C (+ 86F) max - 60C/+ 85C (- 76F/+ 185F)
