Safety Studies of Lithium-Sulfur Dioxide Cells.
Abstract
Hermetically sealed sulfur dioxide 'D' cells were fabricated and tested to improve safety during use/abuse conditions. Cathodes and anodes were optimized to yield efficient and safe operation at -20 F. Explosions were eliminated and venting was minimized when the cells were discharged at 2A constant current to 200% of the theoretical SO2 content between -20 F and +130 F. Discharge currents at 3.5A and above resulted in frequent but safe venting.
