ABSTRACT:
A lithium battery includes a housing and a first electrode and a second electrode provided within the housing. A first tab is coupled to the first electrode and a second tab coupled to the second electrode. A pin is coupled to the second tab and extends to a location outside the housing. At least one of the first tab, the second tab, and the pin are formed from a material comprising vanadium.
