ABSTRACT:
A lithium electrochemical cell including an anode and cathode assembly with the anode connected electrically to a conductive cell casing and an insulated cathode conductor extending through a lid at an end of the casing and connected to a cathode lead near the lid and with a first insulating component for insulating the casing from cell components therein and extending along and within the casing from a closed end thereof toward the lid, and which is characterized by a second insulating component for insulating the lid from components in the casing and extending along within the lid and toward the first insulating bag so as to prevent a short circuit between the lid or casing and the cathode assembly caused by formation of lithium clusters in the region between the lid or casing and the cathode connector. Preferably the second insulating component is in the form of a cup having a relatively thin base portion extending along the lid and a relatively thin wall portion extending from the base along within the casing and toward the first insulating component which also is in the form of a thin-walled cup. The walls of the first and second insulating components preferably meet in overlapping relation. The insulating arrangement is particularly adapted for use in a cell wherein the anode and cathode assembly comprises a plurality of cathode plates with anode sections interposed therebetween.
