    Abstract: A miniature electrochemical cell of a primary or a secondary chemistry with a total volume that is less than 0.5 cc is described. The cell has a casing comprising an annular sidewall supported on a lower plate opposite an upper closure plate. The upper plate has a sealed electrolyte fill port. A current collector having an opening aligned with the fill port contacts an inner surface of the upper plate. An anode active material contacts the lower plate and a cathode active material contacts the upper closure plate. A dielectric material coats the lower open end of the annular sidewall and a portion of the inner surface of the sidewall. A glass seals the dielectric material to the lower plate. An electrolyte contacts the electrode assembly. The cathode active material contacting the current collector has an opening aligned with the current collector opening and the electrolyte fill port.

    Abstract: An electrochemical cell having a casing housing an electrode assembly of a separator residing between a lithium anode and a cathode comprising silver vanadium oxide and fluorinated carbon is described. The electrode assembly is activated with a nonaqueous electrolyte comprising a lithium salt dissolved in a solvent system of propylene carbonate mixed with 1,2-dimethoxyethane, dibenzyl carbonate (DBC), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). Preferably DBC is present in an amount ranging from about 0.005 moles (M) to about 0.25M, LiBOB is present in an amount ranging from about 0.005 wt. 5 to about 5 wt. %, and FEC is present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 wt. % to about 10 wt. %. This electrolyte formulation is more conductive than the conventional or prior art binary and ternary solvent system electrolytes while being chemically and electrochemically stable toward Li/SVO cells, Li-SVO/CFx mixture cells, and Li-SVO/CFx sandwich cathode primary electrochemical cells.

    Abstract: The prevention of lithium clusters from bridging between the negative and positive portions of a cell during discharge is described. This is done by providing a glass wool material at an intermediate location between the casing and anode current collector of a negative polarity and the cathode current collector and the terminal pin being of a positive polarity. Typically, a lithium ion concentration gradient sufficient to cause lithium cluster formation is induced by the high rate, intermittent discharge of a lithium/silver vanadium oxide (Li/SVO) cell. However, sufficient free electrolyte necessary for normal cell function is held in the relatively large pore volume throughout the extent of the glass wool material. Moreover, permeability within the glass wool material is tortuous, which effectively increases the distance between the negative and positive surfaces of the anode and cathode. This tortuosity effectively stops “straight line” dendrite growth of lithium clusters between opposite polarity structures inside the casing.
