Two volt, high power, high energy density rechargeable lithium polymer battery

The research and development of organo-sulfur polymer composite cathodes has produced a family of materials which are electroactive and rechargeable in nonaqueous secondary battery systems. This paper describes the latest improvements in performance of AA cells and indicates the directions to be taken for further development. Applications oriented performance characteristics (including high-rate charge and GSM pulse discharge) of AA cells are described. Initial regulatory agency abuse tests are also outlined.
