Polaroid P500 Lithium Power Pack
6-Volt Battery
Preliminary Technical Data Sheet

The Polaroid P500 Lithium
Power Pack is a further technical
advance of Polaroid's planar battery
technology. Dimensionally identical to
the Polaroid P100 Battery, the 6-Volt
Lithium Power Pack features high
energy density, high capacity, a flat
discharge profile, and an anticipated
shelf life of over 5 years. The P500 is
thin and flat. Its unique construction
prevents explosive rupture. Both
contacts are on the same side,
preventing damage or failure by
incorrect insertion.

Typical Technical
Characteristics

Voltage: 6 volts nominal, 6.3 volts
typical open circuit voltage.

Typical Operation: Up to 150mA
continuous drain.

Size (maximum dimensions):

3.730 in. x 3.040 in. x 0.180 in.
(9.474 cm x 7.722 cm x 0.457 cm)

Weight: 1.2 oz. (34 gms.)

Volume: 1.85 in. 3 (30.2 cm 3 )

Chemistry: Lithium and manganese
dioxide are the reactive species.

Recommended Storage: Under 80° F
(27° C). Lower temperature storage
increases shelf life. Higher
temperature decreases shelf life.

Continuous Discharge:

150mA : 6.5 Hours : 975 mAH
100mA: 12.8 Hours : 1280 mAH
50mA : 26.4 Hours : 1320 mAH
20mA : 69.0 Hours : 1380 mAH
10mA : 144.0 Hours : 1440 mAH
5mA : 295.0 Hours : 1475 mAH

Leak Resistant: Unique hermetic seal.

Not Rechargeable: Primary cell: de-
signed for non-rechargeable appli-
cations.

Discharge Curve: Essentially flat.

Anticipated Shelf Life: Over five years.

Safety: The P500 Lithium Power Pack
has been tested in simulations of normal
use, misuse, and a variety of disposal
methods. The battery was tested for
leaks of hazardous or corrosive
materials; it was cut into pieces and
immersed in water without explosion or
fire. All the tests indicate that, when used
as directed, the P500 is as safe as other
consumer batteries. Some precautions
are naturally necessary. The P500 is not
designed to be recharged or used in
series. If in your design it is possible that
external current may be applied to the
battery, or if more than six volts is
necessary, call Polaroid for technical
assistance. Severely overheating or
forcing current through the battery can
cause it to swell and ultimately vent a
flammable vapor, but not explode.
Cutting open the battery will release a
small amount of the above vapor. As with
any battery, the cautions listed on the
package should be followed. The P500
package will read: "WARNING: This
battery contains flammable materials.
Placing it on a very hot surface or
recharging could cause it to burst into
flame. Do not cut, open, apply heat,
burn, recharge, or use in series. Use only
in devices designed for a P-500 battery."
