Lithium/ Sulfur Dioxide

Sulfur dioxide-lithium cells are used almost exclusively in military/aerospace applications and have somewhat lower energy density than manganese dioxide-lithium or poly (carbon monofluoride) lithium cells. Their service life and energy density are less than half that of thionyl chloride-lithium cells. For safety, and "emergency" vent structure is required in the hermetically welded case.

• Cell Voltage: 3.0V (nominal) 0.8 (cut-off)
• Capacity: N/A
• Energy by Weight: 290 Watt Hour/Kilogram
• Energy by Volume: 500 Watt Hour/Liter
• Discharge Characteristics : N/A
• Shelf Life: 10 Years (to %80 capacity)
