Introducing the AriCell 3.6 Volt C 8500 mAh (LS26500 and ER26500) Primary Lithium Battery, a high-performance power source engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern and mission-critical applications. Whether you are working with high-tech military communication devices, designing alarms and security systems, or developing advanced remote sensing equipment, this battery is crafted to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance. With its impressive energy capacity, robust engineering, and a host of safety and quality certifications, the AriCell battery stands out as a dependable energy solution for a diverse range of uses.

Uncompromising Energy and Consistent Voltage

At the heart of this battery’s appeal lies its impressive energy capacity. Operating at a nominal voltage of 3.6 Volts, the AriCell battery is designed to supply a steady and reliable power output to ensure optimal performance in the devices it powers. Boasting a capacity of 8500 mAh (with an alternative nominal capacity specified as 9Ah or 9000 mAh in some descriptions), this battery delivers long-lasting energy that supports extended operational periods without the need for frequent replacements. Its ability to maintain a consistent voltage level under varying loads is crucial for applications where stable performance is a necessity, such as in precision metering systems or high-reliability communication equipment.

Advanced Lithium-Thionyl Chloride Technology

The AriCell 3.6 Volt C battery harnesses advanced Lithium-Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl₂) technology, which is renowned for its superior energy density and reliability. This chemistry is known for providing the highest energy output among practical lithium battery systems, making it an optimal choice for applications that require both power and longevity. The inherent characteristics of Lithium-Thionyl Chloride contribute not only to the battery’s high mAh rating but also to its capacity to perform efficiently across a wide range of power demands—from continuous low-current applications to intermittent high-current pulses.

Exceptional Safety and Quality Assurance

Safety is a paramount consideration in any battery designed for critical applications, and the AriCell battery does not disappoint. It is UL approved and meets rigorous industry standards, ensuring its suitability for high-stakes environments. The UL certification is an assurance that the battery has undergone extensive testing and meets the necessary criteria for safe operation in a variety of conditions. This level of quality control is particularly important when the battery is deployed in applications like military devices or emergency systems, where failure is not an option. Users can trust that the AriCell 3.6 Volt C battery delivers not only performance but also a high level of safety and reliability.

Superior Electrical Performance for Demanding Applications

The battery is designed to meet both continuous and pulse power demands efficiently. It provides an open circuit voltage of approximately 3.66V at +20°C (68°F), ensuring that even under no-load conditions, the battery retains a higher voltage than its nominal rating, contributing to a more robust overall performance when put to use. When delivering power at a small load (1mA at +20°C), the battery maintains a nominal voltage of 3.6V, which is ideal for devices that demand stable voltage levels for consistent operation.

Moreover, the battery offers a maximum continuous current of 100 mA, sufficient for applications with moderate power demands. When devices require a short burst of additional energy, the battery is capable of pulse currents up to 200 mA, catering to occasional high-power needs without compromising its long-term performance. This dual capability means that whether your application is running on a steady low drain or needs a quick injection of power, the AriCell battery is versatile enough to handle it.

Resilient Performance Across Extreme Temperatures

One of the battery’s standout features is its ability to perform reliably across a broad temperature range. It is engineered to operate effectively in environments that vary from extreme cold to high heat—specifically, from -55°C (-76°F) up to +85°C (+185°F). Such a vast operating temperature range makes it a perfect candidate for use in environments with drastic temperature variations. Whether powering equipment in harsh outdoor conditions, in military field operations, or in industrial applications with high thermal stress, the AriCell battery’s robust design ensures consistent performance regardless of the ambient conditions.

Extended Shelf Life Through Low Self-Discharge

Another critical advantage of the AriCell 3.6 Volt C battery is its remarkably low self-discharge rate, which is less than 1% per annum at +68°F. This characteristic is especially important for applications where the battery may sit idle for long periods before being called into action. With such low self-discharge, the battery can reliably hold its charge for up to 10 years. For systems that act as backups—such as memory backup systems in computers, emergency transmitters, and security alarms—this extended shelf life is invaluable. It ensures that the battery can remain in a state of readiness for extended durations without degradation, thereby safeguarding critical systems in the long term.

Compact, Lightweight, and Versatile Design

The physical design of the AriCell battery is as impressive as its electrical performance. With a diameter of 26.2 mm (approximately 1.02 inches) and a height of 50.5 mm (close to 1.98 inches), the battery’s compact size allows for easy integration into a variety of devices without requiring significant space. Weighing just 52 grams (1.8 oz), this battery is lightweight, simplifying handling and installation in both portable and stationary applications. Its compact form factor is particularly beneficial in applications where space is limited, such as in compact remote sensing devices or portable emergency equipment.

Broad Compatibility and Application Flexibility

The versatility of the AriCell 3.6 Volt C 8500 mAh battery is further underscored by its broad compatibility with numerous battery models. It is designed to work seamlessly with LS26500, LS26500C, TL-4920, TL-5920, TL-2200, SB-C01, SB-C02, SL-770, XL-140F, XL-145F, and PT-2200 batteries. This flexibility means that systems can often be upgraded or maintained with replacement batteries that match the AriCell’s specifications, making it an ideal solution in environments where different battery types are required or when replacing legacy power sources.

The extensive application range of this battery is apparent in its deployment across various fields. It is widely used in radio communication systems and military applications, where reliability and performance under extreme conditions are critical. It also powers a host of other systems, including alarms and security devices, beacons, emergency location transmitters, and GPS devices. Additionally, metering systems, sonobuoys, LED lighting applications, and memory backup solutions all benefit from the battery’s high energy density and stable performance.
