Abstract
An activatable lithium/bromine trifluoride electrochemical cell comprising an anode of lithium or lithium alloy, a positive current collector based on carbon black, and an electrolyte based on bromine trifluoride, wherein the quantity of bromine trifluoride is not less than 200 ml per dm.sup.2 of anode area, and that means are provided for causing the electrolyte to circulate through said cell at a linear speed of not less than 0.5 cm/second. Discharge yield is doubled [curve B] compared with a prior art cell [curve A].
