Understanding ER14505 Battery
The ER14505 battery is a 3.6v lithium battery. It mainly uses lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) as its chemical. This battery can not be charged. It measures 14mm wide and 50.5mm tall. The ER14505 battery 3.6V gives a higher voltage than standard alkaline AA batteries and has a lower self-discharge rate. These features make 14505 battery ideal for devices that need steady and long-lasting power. The battery is commonly seen in remote monitoring systems and utility meters.

Passivation is an interesting natural phenomenon observed in Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LiSO₂Cl₂) batteries! When lithium metal touches the thionyl chloride (SOCl₂) electrolyte, a thin, protective layer forms on the surface of the lithium negative electrode. This layer, mostly made up of Lithium Chloride (LiCl), creates a high-resistance barrier that prevents a continuous reaction between the lithium and the electrolyte. Isn't it fascinating how this process helps maintain the battery's performance?
Passivation has some excellent benefits along with a few potential drawbacks that are important to consider:

Potential Drawbacks:
No, the ER14505 is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium battery. It must not be recharged, as doing so could result in battery leakage or rupture.
Due to its low self-discharge rate (<1% per year), the ER14505 can last 8 to 10 years in low-drain or periodic-use applications, making it ideal for long-term deployments.
Unlike standard 1.5V AA alkaline batteries, the ER14505 delivers 3.6V, a much higher voltage, along with longer lifespan and superior performance in extreme temperatures and industrial-grade environments.
The standard ER14505 battery can handle moderate pulse loads, but for higher pulse demands, an H-type version or external capacitor is recommended to ensure performance stability.
Store ER14505 batteries in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and metal objects. Proper storage can maintain battery integrity and ensure optimal performance when deployed.
