Tadiran lithium batteries are renowned for their durability and minimal self-discharge. No other brand has proven to last 40 years. That’s why tadiran batteries are widely used for battery packs. At Elfa, you can choose from no less than 161 different Tadiran batteries.
Tadiran lithium batteries are among the best quality lithium batteries in the world. Due to the brand’s high quality standards, Tadiran lithium batteries are used worldwide in the aerospace industry, among others. However, nowadays they are also increasingly used in consumer equipment such as e.g. wireless alarm systems, automotive devices and wireless sensors.
A widely used primary lithium variant from Tadiran, is the SL2780S. This is a lithium-thionyl chloride battery, one of the most powerful and reliable batteries. It can function for over 20 years under the harshest conditions. However, this battery is just one of the many Tadiran batteries in Elfa’s range.
The TLI series of industrial lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries solve the problems of regular consumer-grade rechargeable batteries. These standard batteries have a maximum life of 5 years or 500 full charge cycles. They also have a high self-discharge rate, losing up to 60% of their charge each year. Their temperature range is limited to 0°C to 60°C. They cannot deliver high pulses and cannot charge at extreme temperatures.
TLI Series Li-ion batteries can deliver up to 20-year operating life with 5,000 full recharge cycles. These batteries can store high current pulses needed for advanced two-way wireless communications. They work in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. They can even be stored at up to 90°C in extreme conditions.
TLI Series cells can be charged using a direct current. They can also work with solar panels or other energy devices. This setup provides long-term, reliable power. TLI Series batteries are available in standard AA and AAA configurations and in custom battery packs.
Remember, TLI is not your standard rechargeable battery and is only recommended for the toughest jobs. Therfore, these batteries are used for a variety of professional applications, like:

Tadiran is globally recognised as a quality leader in lithium batteries. The brand is therefore constantly looking to further improve its innovative lithium battery technology.
Tadiran works closely with customers and government research groups. They are dedicated to creating new lithium battery technologies, aimed to enhance the performance of industrial batteries. The strong drive for innovation at Tadiran provides the following benefits:
Longer service life
Thanks to lithium’s intrinsic negative potential, Tadiran batteries last longer than many other battery types.
Tadiran batteries have high specific energy and energy density. That’s why they use lithium, the lightest non-gaseous metal. This gives them a high energy output for their weight and size, which makes the batteries lighter and more compact.
High specific energy and energy density
Tadiran batteries use lithium, the lightest non-gaseous metal, which provides high energy output per unit weight and volume. This makes the batteries lighter and more compact.
Stable voltage
Tadiran lithium cells offer a steady operating voltage of 2.7 to 3.6 V. This makes them reliable for many remote uses.
Wide temperature range
Tadiran batteries use a special electrolyte that is not water-based. This allows them to work well in extreme temperatures.
Innovation and expertise in lithium technology
Tadiran is fully specialised in the development and production of lithium batteries, with years of industry experience and knowledge.
International production and ownership by Saft
Tadiran has production sites in the US and Germany. This gives them global coverage and high quality standards. Their parent company, Saft Groupe S.A., ensures a reliable supply. Elfa also offers Saft batteries.
Various battery types from Tadiran
Tadiran batteries are very strong lithium batteries that last extremely long. They are therefore widely used in professional applications in the field of IOT, metering, tracking and alarm & security .
Tadiran’s batteries are also extremely well suited for the manufacture of customised battery packs. If Tadiran’s standard range does not meet your needs, we can offer a suitable solution. At Elfa we produce custom-made battery packs for a specific application in your company.

Self-discharge occurs with all batteries, but with LiSOCl₂ batteries, the passivation effect plays a crucial role. This effect, which occurs only in inactive batteries, significantly reduces self-discharge. High-quality batteries like Tadiran have a very low self-discharge rate of just 0.7% each year. This passivation allows them to last up to 40 years. Lower-quality batteries lose up to 3% per year, costing 30% of capacity after just 10 years.
Tadiran therefore recommends choosing batteries with minimal self-discharge for longer life of your equipment. Want to know more? Download the pdf ‘Understanding the passivation effect’.
Tadiran batteries are used in a variety of applications. The following tables show which type of battery is most suitable for each application.
