  • Abstract
    The authors describe some of the activities which have been undertaken to introduce the Li/SO2 battery technology to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Signal Corps. Safety considerations prevented the use of Li/SO2 in a number of the new applications. Whenever this happened, it necessitated development of an alternative power source to meet the basic requirements of power and energy delivery. The chosen technology was the Li/MnO2 system. The experiments performed and some of the characteristic results of this system are presented
