Performance Characterization of Magnesium/Manganese Dioxide Batteries

Abstract

The effects of storage and temperature on the performance of magnesium/manganese dioxide batteries produced by two different manufacturers was studied. Both batteries performed extremely poorly at -17 C (0 F), losing over 70 percent capacity, compared with performance at 21 C (70 F) and above. After partial usage, and storage, both battery types lost as much as 25 hours of service. Overall, no appreciable difference existed between the batteries of the two manufacturers.
