Abstract
Investigations were conducted on the discharge and safety characteristics of the spirally wound D cells of the in (Li/CSC) system. The realized capacities obtained for these cells further emphasized the effect of addition to on cell discharge behavior. Further, discharge tests showed that practical D cells of the Li/CSC system at ambient temperature yield energy densities of 0.8–1.1 W‐hr cm−3 dependent on discharge rates (e.g., 1.0–20.0Ω loads respectively). Cells were discharged at various temperatures from −30° to +93°C. Additionally, no significant loss in capacity has been observed for cells discharged at ambient temperatures after storage at 74°C for periods up to 30 days. The results of preliminary safety testing which included incineration, short circuiting, and the sequence of force discharge/charge further indicate that the Li/CSC system does indeed possess those characteristics necessary for a variety of high rate applications.
