Investigations of the Safety of Li/SOCl2 Batteries.

Abstract

Forced overdischarge behavior of Li/SOCl2 cells was studied using spirally wound C-size and small prismatic cells. Cathode and anode limited cells were tested. Cathode limited cells could be overdischarged for long periods of time without explosions. Anode limited cells are potentially hazardous. One out of three cells overdischarged at 100 mA exploded.
