Industrial 14500 AA 3.6V Lithium Batteries

14500 batteries for professional and industrial use

The 14500 battery category includes compact AA-size lithium cells designed for long-term power in industrial electronics, measurement equipment, alarm systems, data loggers and backup modules. Although the format is similar to a standard AA battery, these models are usually 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) primary cells and are not interchangeable with 1.5V alkaline AA batteries unless the device is specified for 3.6V operation.

Saft LS14500 and compatible AA lithium cells

One of the most searched products in this range is the LS14500, including the Saft LS 14500 AA 3.6V 2600 mAh cell. It is valued for stable voltage, low self-discharge and reliable performance in applications where batteries may remain installed for years. This makes it a practical choice for meters, remote sensors, security transmitters, tracking systems and other low-current industrial devices.

Choose by chemistry, capacity and terminal type

When selecting a 14500 3.6V battery, check the device specification carefully. Important factors include nominal voltage, capacity in mAh, pulse capability, operating temperature and the physical terminal configuration. In this category you can find standard button-top cells as well as versions with axial leads, solder tabs or opposite-direction tabs for direct integration into PCB assemblies and battery packs.

ER14505, LS14505 and 14500 equivalents

Many devices list the required cell as ER14505, LS14505, LS 14500 or simply 14500 AA 3.6V. These references usually describe the same general AA-size Li-SOCl2 family, but exact dimensions, terminal layout and discharge characteristics may differ by brand. Options from EVE, Tadiran, Uniross and Saft allow you to match the original battery more precisely and keep equipment running safely.

Typical applications

• Utility meters, water meters, gas meters and heat meters
• Industrial sensors, telemetry modules and wireless transmitters
• Alarm systems, access control units and security devices
• Data loggers, memory backup and monitoring equipment
• OEM battery packs requiring AA-size lithium cells with leads or tabs

Reliable brands for critical devices

For maintenance teams and technical buyers, brand consistency is often as important as price. Tadiran SL-760/S, Saft LS14500 and equivalent ER14505 cells are selected for dependable operation in demanding installations. Before ordering, compare the original part number, capacity, connector style and polarity so the replacement battery fits correctly and performs as expected.

Important: Li-SOCl2 14500 cells are primary batteries and must not be recharged. Do not mix old and new cells, avoid short circuits, and follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
