Lithium--aluminum/metal sulfide batteries. [Li--Al/LiCl--KCl/Fe sulfides]
Rechargeable lithium--aluminum/metal sulfide batteries are being developed for electric vehicle propulsion and for stationary energy storage applications such as load leveling in electric utility systems. Although these two applications have different requirements, batteries of this type show promise of meeting the performance, lifetime and cost goals for both. Cells are being produced and tested both in house and by industrial subcontractors. Conceptual battery designs have been developed, and two- and three-cell batteries have been operated successfully. Although the development work has been aimed primarily at these two large-scale applications, batteries of this type may find near-term use in more specialized applications that require high specific energy and power, but where the cost restrictions are less stringent. 7 figures, 11 tables.
