Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a novel primary battery comprising at least one positive plate composed of cobalt, oxides and their mixtures, and at least one negative plate having a metal selected from the group of light metals, said plates being disposed in an electrolyte comprising an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofuran, N-nitrosodimethylamine, dimethyl sulfite, propylene carbonate, gamma-butyrolactone, dimethyl carbonate, dimethoxy ethane, aceto-nitrile and the mixtures thereof, and having dissolved therein soluble salts of the light metals, for example, the perchlorates, hexafluorophosphates, tetrafluoroborates, tetrachloroaluminates, and hexafluoro arsenates of lithium.
