An important part of the Energy Storage Program of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration is the development of storage batteries for load-leveling on electric utilities and automotive propulsion, and for application to new energy generating systems. The successful development of batteries for these purposes will provide significant savings of oil resources and will also have beneficial environmental effects. A very high manufacturing volume may be required for these batteries and the availability of the required raw materials is an important consideration. Lithium--aluminum/iron sulfide batteries show promise both for utility energy-storage batteries and electric vehicle batteries, and serious consideration should be given by the lithium industry to the availability of lithium resources.
