A number of UV cured gelled electrolytes (GEs) of different compositions were prepared and their electrochemical properties were investigated. Different compositions of organic liquids such as Ethylene Carbonate(EC) + Propylene Carbonate (PC), Ethylene Carbonate + Diethyl Carbonate (DEC) containing LiAsF, as salt were used as solvents. Both ``Quick Cure`` and ``Envibar`` based photo curable polymers were used as host materials. While the bulk conductivity of these electrolytes is stable near 10{sup {minus}3} the interfacial resistance increased with time indicating a reactive Li/polymer interface. Flat polymer thin cells containing Li anode, GE and TiS, cathode were made and charge/discharge (c/d) characteristics studied. Cathode composition and thickness will be studied to optimize the c/d behavior.
