Tadiran Batteries


Tadiran lithium batteries are renowned for their durability and minimal self-discharge. No other brand has proven to last 40 years. That’s why tadiran batteries are widely used for battery packs and battery packs. In locations where longevity is of enormous importance and replacing batteries is complex, you can choose from no less than 161 different Tadiran batteries that Elfa Elementenfabriek supplies.

 

 

Tadiran batteries with a legendary life span

Tadiran lithium batteries are among the best quality lithium batteries in the world. Due to the brand’s very high quality standards, Tadiran lithium batteries are used worldwide in the aerospace industry, among others. However, nowadays they are also increasingly used in consumer equipment such as e.g. wireless alarm systems, automotive devices and wireless sensors.

 

A widely used primary lithium variant from Tadiran, is the SL2780S. This is a lithium-thionyl chloride battery, one of the most powerful and reliable batteries capable of operating for more than 20 years under the most challenging conditions.

Tadiran TLI serie: Industrial grade rechargeable lithium-ion batteries

The TLI series of industrial lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries address the inherent drawbacks of standard consumer-grade rechargeable lithium-ion cells, including a maximum life of 5 years and/or 500 full charge cycles, high annual self-discharge (up to 60% per year), a limited temperature range (0°C to 60°C), an inability to deliver high pulses and no ability to charge at extreme temperatures.

 

TLI Series Li-ion batteries can deliver up to 20-year operating life with 5,000 full recharge cycles. These batteries can also store the high current pulses required for advanced two-way wireless communications, and have an extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, with storage up to 90°C, under extreme environmental conditions.

TLI Series cells can be charged with direct current or combined with photovoltaic solar panel or other energy harvesting devices to provide long-term reliable power. TLI Series batteries are available in standard AA and AAA configurations and in custom battery packs.

 

Remember, TLI is not your standard rechargeable battery and is only recommended for the toughest jobs. Contact us to see if TLI Series rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are right for your application.

 

Use in professional applications

TLI Series batteries are used for a variety of professional applications. Some of these applications are explained further here.

Advice from our specialists

Numerous benefits through innovation

Tadiran is globally recognised as a quality leader in lithium batteries. The brand is therefore constantly looking to further improve its innovative lithium battery technology.

 

Working closely with customers and government research organisations, Tadiran is committed to developing new lithium battery technologies that further improve the performance of industrial batteries. The strong drive for innovation at Tadiran provides the following benefits:

 

Longer service life
Thanks to lithium’s intrinsic negative potential, Tadiran batteries last longer than many other battery types.

High specific energy and energy density Tadiran batteries use lithium, the lightest non-gaseous metal, which provides high energy output per unit weight and volume. This makes the batteries lighter and more compact.

Stable voltage
Tadiran lithium cells provide a constant operating voltage of 2.7 to 3.6 V, which is reliable for various remote applications.

 

Wide temperature range
Due to the non-aqueous electrolyte in Tadiran batteries, they function reliably at extreme temperatures, unlike water-based battery chemistries.

 

Innovation and expertise in lithium technology
Tadiran is fully specialised in the development and production of lithium batteries, with years of industry experience and knowledge.

 

International production and ownership by Saft
With production sites in the US and Germany, Tadiran has global coverage and high quality standards, supported by parent company Saft Groupe S.A., ensuring reliable supply. At Elfa, by the way, we also have Saft batteries.

How Tadiran deals with self-discharge

Self-discharge occurs with all batteries, but with LiSOCl₂ batteries, the passivation effect plays a crucial role. This effect, which occurs only in inactive batteries, significantly reduces self-discharge.

 

High-quality batteries, such as Tadiran, show only 0.7% self-discharge per year thanks to passivation, enabling a lifetime of up to 40 years. Lower-quality batteries lose up to 3% per year, costing 30% of capacity after just 10 years. Tadiran therefore recommends choosing batteries with minimal self-discharge for longer life of your equipment. Want to know more? Download the pdf ‘Understanding the passivation effect’.
