Abstract
Abstract A solid electrolyte cell having beta -alumina as the electrolyte is disclosed. The Cathodic active material is a compound having water of crystallization. The cathode is juxtaposed in contact with the surface of said beta -alumina electrolyte, and a very small amount of an aqueous solution of inorganic acid is added to the contact areas. The discharge characteristics of the cells at low temperature is improved.
