  • Patent number: 4229509
    Abstract: A non-aqueous primary battery comprised of an electrolytic solution of a solvent and a solute, a separator, an anode, and a bismuth (III) sulfide cathode is provided. The electrochemical system of this invention is particularly useful in small primary batteries commonly referred to as "button cells" due to its high volumetric energy density and retention of cell dimensions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 1979
    Date of Patent: October 21, 1980
    Assignee: ESB Technology Company
    Inventor: Nehemiah Margalit
  • Patent number: 4224736
    Abstract: A process for improving leakage resistant in a galvanic cell is provided. This is done by making an improved grommet and metal cover. The process comprises swelling a grommet which has been placed tightly around the periphery of a metal cover until the grommet is loose upon the metal cover, forcing a sealant solution between the swollen grommet and metal cover and then shrinking the grommet to substantially its original size to trap the sealant compound between the grommet and metal cover.

    Inventors: Nehemiah Margalit, Robert A. Maroney
  • Patent number: 4215189
    Abstract: A lead dioxide electrode structure for an electrochemical battery is formed using a mixture of lead dioxide particles, carbon black particles, and a latex. The materials are mixed to form a compact and homogeneous electrode mixture. The mixture is then coated upon a conductive layer which is binded to a shim. This structure is useful as a cathode in an electrochemical primary battery of the reserve type.

    Inventors: Bernard C. Bergum, Alf M. Bredland, John W. Paulson
  • Patent number: 4206275
    Abstract: A material useful as a separator in batteries and a process for making the material is provided. This material is a polyolefin having grafted to it side chains derived from an ethylenically unsaturated ionogenic monomer and cross-linked with sulfur.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 1978
    Date of Patent: June 3, 1980
    Assignee: ESB Incorporated
    Inventors: Philip Bernstein, James P. Coffey, Alan E. Varker
  • Patent number: 4195122
    Abstract: An improved high drain rate lithium cell is provided. The improvement is the use of an additive to stabilize the cell. The additive is a minor portion of alkali metal hexafluorophosphate.

  • Patent number: 4113929
    Abstract: A non-aqueous primary battery having an electrolytic solution consisting essentially of a non-aqueous solvent containing an electrolyte salt, a separator, a light metal anode and a pure silver chromate cathode is provided. The electrochemical system of this battery is particularly useful in small primary batteries commonly referred to as "button cells" due to its high volumetric energy density and retention of cell dimensions.
