Lithium battery suppliers?

Sep 09, 2009 10 Replies

I need to change the CR17335 batteries in my Saab 9-5 alarm siren but I can't find a stockist or an alternative; the high current discharge spec seems to be the gotcha - any suggestions?



The spec is:



3V, 1400mAh, 2/3AA, tagged or pinned
*Max continuous discharge 1500mA* Max pulse discharge 3000mA

(CR17335SE is a different animal)

NoSpam laid this down on his screen :

Google a company called (something similar to) strikealite - strikealight.

Thanks for the suggestion but I need them tagged or pinned to solder to the PCB - vibration and mositure would lead to a dodgy contacts if they were in a battery carrier.

well solder on your own tags then.

I've done that before for NiCads, etc but I thought soldering to Lithium batteries was a no-no because of the explosion/fire risk (?)

I've soldered many..aluminium tags too..

As long as the main body stays below about 60C they wont be harmed, and cylindrical 3v units are not explosive chemistry anyway Its the lithium ion rechargeable with fancy organic solvents in the electrolytes that go bang.

You could try AllBatteries in Watford
