TLM Military Grade Lithium Batteries
Rugged, high energy lithium metal oxide batteries developed specifically for military and aerospace applications.

To meet the demanding requirements of military and aerospace applications that require high rate power, Tadiran has developed TLM Military Grade high energy lithium metal oxide cells.

Designed specifically for applications such as avionics, navigation systems, ordinance fuses, missile systems, telemetry, electronic warfare systems, GPS tracking and emergency/safety devices, shipboard and oceanographic devices, TLM Military Grade batteries are constructed with a carbon-based anode, multi metal oxide cathode, organic electrolyte, and shut-down separator for enhanced safety. These batteries feature an open circuit voltage of 4V with a discharge capacity of 500 mAh (20 mA at 2.8V RT), and are capable of handling 5A continuous pulses and 15A maximum high current pulses. They also feature low self-discharge, and a extremley wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Tadiran TLM Military series of cells are also extremely safe, as thier solvents are non-toxic and non-pressurized and their anode material is less reactive than that found in other lithium cells. The batteries have performed well in a variety of safety tests, including nail penetration, crush tests, high temperature chambers, short circuit and charge tests. Two families - High Power and Medium Power are currently available in 3 different sizes.

TLM Military Grade batteries comply with MIL-STD 810G specs for vibration, shock, temperature shock, salt fog, altitude, acceleration (50,000 gn) and spinning (30,000 rpm) as well as UN 1642 and IEC 60086 standards for crush, impact, nail penetration, heat, over-charge and short circuit, and can be shipped as non-hazardous goods. Product advantages include:

Small, Light, Powerful
4.0 V open circuit voltage, 500 mAh capacity
Safe Design
Hermetically sealed (glass-to-metal), can be shipped as non-hazardous goods
Low Self-discharge
Enables long storage life
Hight Survivabiliy
withstands 50,000 gn acceleration and 30,000 rpm spinning
Wider Oerating Temperature
-40°C to 85°C
End-of-life Indication
