Abstract
Abstract Dry air that does not react with other components of a battery is included in a battery casing by assembling the casing in a dry air atmosphere. The casing is partially evacuated, and a liquid electrolyte that expands substantially when heated is introduced. The casing is then sealed in a gas tight manner. The residual dry air is compressed when the temperature rises permitting the electrolyte to expand without leaking from the casing.
