Eagle-Picher Industries has been involved in the design, development and fabrication of lithium/metal sulfide secondary batteries with a molten-salt electrolyte for the past seven years. The goals of this program are to develop a longlife, high-power, high-energy-density battery for electric-vehicle applications. This paper discusses the developmental achievements at Eagle-Picher Industries during this period of time. These include the development of current collectors for both FeS and FeS/sub 2/ cells, separator improvements, sealing techniques, and active material balances. This paper also describes the successes and failures which have helped to develop this system to the present state-of-the-art Li/MS /SUB x/ molten-salt batteries.
