With a solid electrolyte, high energy density and thin packaging, solid-state batteries are getting smaller and enabling devices to be implanted in more parts of the body. Denis Pasero, Ilika It has been more than six decades since Åke Senning implanted the first heart pacemaker in a patient. Even though today’s pacemakers have improved treatment…
What is a lithium thionyl chloride battery and how does it work?
Sol Jacobs, VP and GM, Tadiran Batteries What is a lithium thionyl chloride battery? Under the broad category of primary lithium battery types, numerous types of primary (non-rechargeable) lithium battery chemistries are commercially-available that differ in their performance characteristics. The critical considerations are voltage, discharge current, service life and temperature range. LiCFX (poly carbon monofluoride) and LiMN02…
