(1) Nominal capacity values shown above are based on the respective standard discharge current and a cut-off voltage of 2.0V, at 23°C.
(2) The maximum current is determined for a yield of 70% of the nominal capacity with a cut-off voltage of 2.0V, at 23°C. For the currents exceeding those given above or pulsed current, please contact RENATA SA.
RENATA batteries are UL-approved (File No. MH14002).

Pulse Discharge Characteristics
RENATA Lithium batteries have excellent pulse load characteristics, for example for the transmission of radio signals by remote controls. The following diagrams show the voltage characteristics at pulse loads of 10, 20, 50 and 100 mA during 100 ms, pulse cycle 1 second, at ambient temperature. The voltage drop under load is evident as well as the voltage recovery to almost the original level after a very short time.
