History of Primary Lithium-Based Batteries and Their Performance Parameters

4 History of Primary Lithium-Based Batteries and Their Performance Parameters 

Market surveys indicate that Li-Mn02 batteries are widely manufactured by more than 16 companies worldwide for various electronic and electrical devices and sensors. These cells are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes and their typical characteristics are shown in Table 5.2. 

Originally, lithium-based batteries were manufactured in large quantities and were accepted for various applications. Users were impressed with the electrical 

Cell Configuration Cell Characteristics Energy Density (Wh/L) 

In the meantime, new designs of lithium batteries were developed, tested, and evaluated, and newly developed batteries demonstrated significant improvement in battery performance parameters, including energy density, shelf life, longevity, reliability, and consistent electrical performance under high and low operating temperatures with no evidence of failure mechanisms.
