Performance Versus Safety of Some Primary and Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

摘要

The performance and safety of selected portable, military batteries is discussed, with emphasis on extreme physical and electrical abuse tests, such as nail penetration and overcharging. The battery couples discussed are the lithium-sulphur dioxide and lithium-manganese dioxide non-rechargeable systems plus the nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion rechargeable systems.
