SOLID-STATE CHEMICAL CURRENT SUPPLY AND METHOD FOR RAISING DISCHARGE CAPACITY/ Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H01M6/18 H01M10/39 

FIELD: electrical engineering; primary and secondary solid-state chemical current supplies.

SUBSTANCE: proposed solid-state chemical current supply has case with terminal leads accommodating one or more solid-state electric cells connected to mentioned leads and built around solid ion conductors; in order to raise discharge capacity, electric cells are made in the form of heat-generating cells maintained in hot state; current supply has heat shield disposed inside and/or outside the case that functions to reduce heat loss of hot electric cells. Invention specification also proposes method for enhancing discharge capacity of solid-state chemical current supply by passing electric current through electric cells, their heating, and maintaining them in hot state in the course of discharge.

EFFECT: enhanced discharge characteristics.
