Mercuric oxide batteries characteristics

Cadmium/Mercuric Oxide Battery. The substitution of cadmium for the zinc anode (the cadmium/mercuric oxide cell) results in a lower-voltage but very stable system, with a shelf life of up to 10 years as well as performance at high and low temperatures. Because of the lower voltage, the watthour capacity of this battery is about 60% of the zinc/mercuric oxide battery capacity. Again, because of the hazardous characteristics of mercury and cadmium, the use of this battery is limited. [Pg.168]

Zinc/mercuric oxide batteries have good storage characteristics. In general they will store for over 2 years at 20°C with a capacity loss of 10 to 20% and 1 year at 45°C with about a 20% loss. Storage at lower temperatures, such as down to -20°C, will, as with other battery systems, increase storage life. [Pg.284]
