Abstract

This paper describes an effort to develop a prototype thermal battery that can be used in high power applications. The goal of this ongoing activity is to develop a battery that can serve as a base module to meet higher power requirements using multiple modules in series or parallel combinations. The thermal battery chemistry being developed consists of lithium(silicon) anodes, all-lithium salt electrolyte, and cobalt disulfide cathodes. In addition, high power, rapid-response battery testers were developed for multiple applications.
