Made in UK
Continuous current permitting 50% of the nominal capacity to be achieved
at + 20ºC with 2.0 V cut off.
Pulse capability : Typically up to 0.4 A.
(The voltage readings may vary according to the pulse characteristics,
the temperature and the cell’s previous history. Fitting the cell with a
capacitor may be recommended in severe conditions. Consult Saft)
Storage
