Novel rechargeable battery cells have been constructed using a reduced form of the conducting organic polymer, polyacetylene, as the anode, the inorganic intercalating material, titanium disulfide as the cathode, and either 1.0M LiCl0/sub 4/ in THF or 1.0M NaPF/sub 6/ in THF as the nonaqueous electrolyte. A feasibility study of the cells is described. It includes constant current discharge characteristics, stability, and rechargeability. The cells exhibited good stability and reversibility. Their performance was cathode limited, owing to the method used for fabricating the TiS/sub 2/ electrode.
