Lithium-thionyl chloride batteries (Li/SOCl2) have a cell voltage nominally of 3.6V, a very high energy density, and a good temperature range. The applications are typically computer memory backup power, instruments, and small electronics. The widespread use of this type for consumer applications is limited because of the high cost and concerns about safety and handling. After extended shelf storage times, the lithium anode may start to form a protective film. This film will initially cause a voltage delay when first placed into service. The lithium-thionyl chloride cell also is produced with BrCl additives to yield an increase in cell voltage to 3.9V and an increase in energy density to about 1000Wh/L with overall safer operation. Products & Services
Disposable primary batteries are replaced once the energy supply is depleted. Their energy is produced when the materials within the battery react and are exhausted.
Lithium batteries are primary batteries with a lithium anode. They are disposable.
Battery chargers are devices for charging rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries or secondary batteries contain active materials that can be regenerated by charging. When the energy produced by rechargeable batteries drops below optimum efficiency, secondary batteries may be recharged in a couple of ways, depending upon their construction.
Industrial batteries translate chemical energy into electricity.
