Development of Lithium Inorganic Electrolyte Batteries for Navy Applications.

Abstract

The Naval Undersea Center (NUC) has completed an extensive test program of lithium-thionyl chloride (SOCl2 cells of both the high-rate and low-rate configurations. Several deficiencies of earlier cells were corrected by modifying cell hardware design and the addition of chemical additives to the electrolyte for improved safety. As a result of this program, the improved cells are now being used, with complete success, in numerous ocean-oriented applications. Now that many of the problems and hazards of these cells are better understood, lithium-thionyl chloride cells and batteries can be developed for a variety of high- and low-rate applications involving both large- and small-size cells.
