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.
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.
Abstract: A non-aqueous primary battery comprised of an electrolytic solution of a solvent and a solute, a separator, an anode, and a stannous 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.
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.

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.
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.
