Batteries

[John]

I hear that in Japan there is a Lithium Ion battery that does not discharge (at
least it takes many years). How is this possible, and is this even possible?
I read about this battery on the web somewhere, but cannot cite the source at
this time.

Thanks,


John

If more and more people complained to the authorities about Steve Walz then he
may get the justice or the mental help he so desperately cries out for!

Sure, it weighs about 400 pounds, and outputs 3V at 1 amp max.
Cost? well as a one of a kind, priceless!

Lithium-manganese cells have a very low self discharge rate of <2%/yr.
Guaranteed shelf life of 10yrs. But it depends on storage temperatures.

They are good for life-jackets and the like.
If you separate the electrolyte you could activate the cells only in an
emergency event. Zinc-oxide cells come to mind.

Aren't you talking shelf life?

Surely you must be joking; he's talking about batteries, not shelves
