As a result, the PulsesPlus TM battery outperforms conventional high rate lithium batteries such as lithium sulphur  dioxide (Li/SO2) batteries,  lithium manganese dioxide  (Li/MnO2) batteries as well as  spirally wound lithium thionyl  chloride (Li/SOCl2) batteries.  


Compared to these battery  systems, PulsesPlus TM batteries deliver higher voltage and  higher capacity. These batteries  also offer unmatched service  life due to their extremely low  self-discharge.  




Extremely low  self discharge

The PulsesPlus TM battery can  be used where 20 years of  continuous power are required  for applications including  GSM and radio modules. This  is due to the stability of both  Tadiran’s primary LTC battery  and the HLC with respect  to the sealing system, the  internal resistance, and the  self-discharge.


Fit for 20 years of life

Figure 3shows the maximum  average current draw of a TLP-93111/A PulsesPlus TM battery  as a function of the design life  of the battery.


This battery will  typically deliver 20 years operation life when the average current is not more than 87.5 µA at  +25 °C. Under these conditions,  the accumulated self discharge  loss of the battery is less than  15 % during its operating life.  


As a result it is fair to say that  Tadiran’s Pulses Plus TM battery  is the smallest and most cost  effective battery for a 20 year  stand alone power supply.


Variable design

PulsesPlus TM batteries can be  assembled in a great variety of  combinations. The primary cell  can be selected from Tadiran’s  large range of 3.6 Volt LTC batteries.


A special range of LSC  (Lithium Sulphuryl Chloride)  cells with a nominal voltage  of 3.9 Volts is also available,  often allowing a more economic  approach where equipment  needs to operate at very low  temperatures.


Each of these  primary cells can be combined  with one or more HLCs from a  range of four sizes.


Series and  parallel combinations of more  primary cells extend the voltage  range and capacity range where  necessary.
