摘要： A method for making a primary cell comprising a lithium anode and an iodine containing cathode. The cell is first subjected to a preliminary conditioning at a predetermined time/temperature to effect a reduction in the impedance of the cell followed by cell discharge of at least 2 mAh per cm.sup.2 of the lithium anode surface prior to use or extended storage of the cell. The resulting primary cell has reduced variation in cell voltage and resistance and slower and more consistent self-discharge characteristics.

摘要： The present teachings include an electrochemical cell including an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte, a separator disposed between the cathode and anode, and a housing containing the anode, cathode, electrolyte, and separator. The separator can include a first sheet consisting essentially of a single layer material and a second sheet distinct from the first sheet. The second sheet can include an inner microporous layer laminated between two more outer layers. In some cells, the inner layer can have a transition temperature between a porous configuration and a substantially non-porous configuration that is between about 80 degrees C. and 150 degrees C., and in which the two more outer layers maintain their structural integrity to at least about 10 degrees C. greater than the first layer transition temperature.

摘要： Power source longevity monitor for an implantable medical device. An energy counter counts the amount of energy used by the implantable medical device. An energy converter converts the energy used into an estimate of remaining power source longevity and generating an energy longevity estimate. A voltage monitor monitors the voltage of the power source. A voltage converter converts the voltage monitored by the voltage monitor into an estimate of remaining longevity of the power source and generating a voltage longevity estimate. A calculator is operatively coupled to the energy converter and to the voltage converter and predicts the power source longevity using the energy longevity estimate early in the useful life of the power source and using the voltage longevity estimate later in the useful life of the power source.

摘要： A method and apparatus for measuring the depletion level (depth of discharge) of a lithium-iodine battery in an implantable medical device. A first set of measurements are made to determine the internal impedance of the battery, and a second set of measurements are made to determine the geometric capacitance of the battery, which has been found to correlate closely to the depth of discharge of the battery. The measurements are all made while the pacemaker is first temporarily decoupled from the medical device circuitry. The first measurements are made during a time window following a known change in resistive load across the terminals of the battery, and are capable of being correlated with 1-kHz qualification testing data made on the battery at the time of manufacture. The second measurements are made when the known load is periodically coupled and decoupled to the terminals of the battery at a rate of 80-kHz. The resulting data can be used to monitor depth of discharge throughout the operable life of the battery.
