Abstract

The effect of cell design variables such as stoichiometric ratios of , electrode area, electrolyte salt, content of the electrolyte, etc. on the abuse resistance of the hermetic D cells on force‐discharge, especially at −30°C at a current of 2A, was evaluated. Both the ratio and the current density of operation were found to be important design parameters from the safety standpoint. Lithium‐limited cell designs were found to be safer than the lithium‐rich cell designs for a given current density of operation.
