The usefulness of tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a cosolvent with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2Me-THF)/LiAsF/sub 6/ for improving the low temperature rate capability of rechargeable Li cells has been explored. Li/TiS/sub 2/ cells utilizing 2Me-THF/LiAsF/sub 6/ blended with 15-50 volume-percent THF have shown substantially improved rate characteristics at 0 and -10C. In addition, the Li electrode in such cells has exhibited practically useful cycling efficiencies.
