Abstract
A lithium cell comprising a cathode including a region of iodine-containing material having a pair of operative surfaces and a cathode current collector in the region between the surfaces, a pair of lithium anode elements operatively contacting corresponding cathode surfaces and each having a current collector, and electrical conductors connected to the cathode and anode current collectors. Each anode element is fitted in a holder in a manner exposing a surface of each lithium element to the cathode material and sealing the anode current collector from exposure to the cathode material, the holders being of a material which does not exhibit electronic conduction when exposed to iodine. A pair of separator elements insulate the cathode conductor from the lithium anode elements. A pair of cells electrically connected in series and encapsulated in a single body provide a battery having an output of about 5 volts.
