    Abstract: A lithium ion electrochemical cell having an electrolyte with reduced carbonate content is described. The reduced carbonate electrolyte minimizes electrolyte out-gassing when the cell is exposed to temperatures above 100° C. The preferred electrolyte comprises a primary solvent of γ-butyrolactone and a secondary solvent comprising an aliphatic or halogen constituent. A most preferred electrolyte consists essentially of γ-butyrolactone as a primary solvent, fluorotoluene as a secondary solvent, and an electrolyte additive formulation of vinylene carbonate, fluorinated ethylene carbonate, and polyvinyl pyridine-co-styrene. An alkali metal salt is added to the solvent admixture.
