  • Patent number: 4104449
    Abstract: The present invention includes a primary battery of the remotely activated type which may include one or more zinc electrodes and which is filled with a liquid electrolyte only when the battery is to be activated. A novel feature of the invention is the use of an acid or mixture of acids in aqueous solution as the electrolyte. Hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid are preferred, although other acid can also be used in various concentrations as the electrolyte. The voltage of the battery is unexpectedly higher and the battery has a faster activation time at low temperatures than if an alkaline electrolyte were used. A superior high voltage short duration battery is thus obtained.

  • Patent number: 4048408
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a zinc electrode of improved type for alkaline batteries of the deferred action or reserve type, which batteries include a silver oxide electrode and a separator. The zinc electrode is provided with a current collector having a foil or grid of aluminum or aluminum alloy therearound adjacent the surface of that electrode. The foil or grid may have an increased surface area provided by a profile which has been etched or otherwise disposed therein. The current collector can include a copper core. The foil or grid can be applied to both sides of the core and a sheet of zinc can be applied to each sheet of the foil or grid. The resulting zinc electrode has increased resistance to passivation which normally occurs at low temperatures and when zinc electrodes are discharged at high current densities. An improvement in the efficiency of the zinc electrode at high current density as well as low temperatures is provided in accordance with the present invention.
