Abstract
A lithium halide battery appropriate for low-cost, mass production is disclosed in which the battery comprises an outer encasement member having top and bottom portions and an opening through one with at least one pelletized depolarizer positioned within the encasement member and in electrical contact therewith. The battery includes a lithium anode in contact with the depolarizer but electrically separated from the encasement member. At least one insulator means is positioned in contact with the anode and includes an opening therethrough located to align with the opening in the encasement. A terminal pin is positioned through the opening in the encasement member, but insulated from the periphery thereof, and in electrical contact with the anode through the opening in the insulator means.
