Title: Mangalith: a new lithium pacemaker battery

Journal Article · · Proc. - Electrochem. Soc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5437462

An original lithium battery system is being developed for pacemaker application. The material used, lithium-manganese dioxide, industrially available at the present time for a variety of electronic applications, has been modified and adapted for pacemaker power requirements. The utilization of a different modification of manganese dioxide offers performance advantages. The cell technology is described and performance comparisons between this new cathode material and the industrial counterpart are reported. 7 refs.
