The superconducting oxides, yttrium barium copper oxide (A) and neodymium copper oxide (B) were fabricated into cathodes for lithium nonaqueous batteries. The cathode limited cells had electrolytes of 1M LiClO{sub 4} or LiAsF{sub 6} in propylene carbonate or 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran and were hermetically sealed in stainless steel case-positive cans. The initial open circuit potentials were in the range of 3.0-3.5 volts for all cell types. The potentials of both type A and B cells with oxides prepared in an atmosphere of O{sub 2} were about 200mV greater than those for cathodes that have been prepared in an N2 atmosphere. Cycle and capacity test results are presented.
