MORE DETAILS ON THE NEW LIMNO2 RECHARGEABLE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED AT TADIRAN

This paper describes the performance of LiMnO2, rechargeable AP, batte ries developed at Tadiran. The advancement, achieved recently in this technology in terms of cycle life, capacity, energy density, low-tempe rature performance and high discharge currents, is presented. In spite of the use of lithium metal as the anode and liquid electrolyte solut ions, these cells are considered safe due to their internal safety mec hanisms based on polymerization of the solvent 1,3-dioxolane, in abuse cases.
