FAQs
What does 'non-rechargeable' mean for this battery?
It means the battery is designed for single use and cannot be recharged. Attempting to recharge it can be dangerous and damage the battery or device.
What is passivation and why is it important?
Passivation is a natural chemical process where a thin protective layer forms on the surface of lithium thionyl chloride batteries during storage. This layer can initially impede current flow, leading to lower voltage. For best performance, it's recommended to use the battery within 2-3 months of purchase to minimize this effect.
Can I use this battery in any device that takes a 'AA' battery?
No, this is a 1/2 AA size battery, which is smaller than a standard AA battery. You must ensure your device specifically requires the ER14250 1/2 AA form factor.
How long will this battery last?
The lifespan depends on the device's power consumption. It is designed for low-power devices and can last several years in applications like sensors or meters. However, performance is best when used within 2-3 months of purchase.
What are the ideal storage conditions for this battery?
Store in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid extreme temperatures. For best results, purchase only what you need and use within a few months of acquisition.
Is this battery safe for medical equipment?
Yes, it is suitable for certain medical equipment due to its stable voltage and reliability. However, always consult your medical device's manual to confirm battery compatibility and specifications.
What does RoHS and UN 38.3 compliance mean?
RoHS compliance indicates that the battery adheres to restrictions on hazardous substances. UN 38.3 compliance means it has passed rigorous testing for safe transportation of lithium batteries.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on after inserting the battery.
Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity (+/-). Check if the battery is fully seated. If the device is new, ensure it has been correctly assembled. If the battery is old, passivation might be a factor; try a fresh battery.
Device shows intermittent power or low performance.
This could be due to passivation. Try a fresh battery. Ensure the battery contacts in the device are clean. Verify the device's power requirements do not exceed the battery's output.
Battery is not recognized by the device.
Confirm that the ER14250 1/2 AA size and 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride chemistry are compatible with your device. Check for any physical damage to the battery or device contacts.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent performance in extreme temperatures (-55°C to +85°C).
- High energy density for its size.
- Stable voltage output suitable for sensitive electronics.
- Long potential shelf life.
- Wide range of compatible applications.
Cons
- Non-rechargeable.
- Passivation can affect initial performance if stored too long.
- Requires careful inventory management due to passivation recommendation.
- Specific size (1/2 AA) may not be universally interchangeable.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, always verify that your electronic device is designed to use a 1/2 AA size battery with a 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride chemistry. Check your device's manual or the existing battery for confirmation.
Setup: Installation is straightforward: insert the battery according to the polarity markings (+ and -) on both the battery and your device. Ensure a secure fit.
Care:
- Storage: Store unused batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the battery within 2-3 months of purchase. While the shelf life can be up to 12 years under special conditions, prolonged storage can lead to passivation, which may temporarily reduce performance. Purchase quantities based on your immediate needs.
- Handling: Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat or attempting to recharge it, as it is a non-rechargeable type.
- Disposal: Dispose of used batteries responsibly, following local electronic waste regulations. Do not incinerate.
