HIGH CAPACITY MAGNESIUM BATTERIES

Abstract

Mg/Mg(ClO4)2 CuO reserve cells were characterized on high rates using a cell design previously developed. Several voltage variations, caused by the heat evolved, were noted during discharge. A research study was initiated to determine the mechanism by which the heat evolved influences the voltage behavior of the system. Shelf-life programs were initiated to study the delayed action, impedance, and capacity retention characteristics of the Mg/Mg(ClO4)2/ MnO2 and Mg/Mg(ClO4)2/CuO dry cells. Initial delayed action, impedance and capacity data are presented for the MnO2 cells.
