Abstract
A rechargeable battery comprises lithium intercalation compound electrodes and an interposed electrolyte of flexible polymer containing a lithium salt dissolved in a polymer-compatible solvent. Preferred components include tertiary lithium manganese oxide compound positive electrodes, carbon negative electrodes, and poly(vinylidene fluoride) copolymer electrolyte layers containing about 20 to 70% of a solution of lithium salt in a medium boiling solvent comprising such solvents as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and dimethyl carbonate. The electrolyte layers may be employed in the form of individual separator films or as a coated component of multilayer battery structures to provide electrical ionic conductivity up to about 10.sup.-3 S/cm.
