Passivation is an interesting natural phenomenon observed in Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LiSO₂Cl₂) batteries! When lithium metal touches the thionyl chloride (SOCl₂) electrolyte, a thin, protective layer forms on the surface of the lithium negative electrode. This layer, mostly made up of Lithium Chloride (LiCl), creates a high-resistance barrier that prevents a continuous reaction between the lithium and the electrolyte. Isn't it fascinating how this process helps maintain the battery's performance?
Passivation has some excellent benefits along with a few potential drawbacks that are important to consider:
Benefits:
- Low Self-Discharge: The passivation layer does a fantastic job of slowing down any unwanted side reactions between the lithium and the electrolyte, leading to an impressively low self-discharge rate. Thanks to this, LiSO₂Cl₂ batteries can be stored for many years, often over 10 years, while still keeping most of their capacity intact.
- Long Shelf Life: Because of the low self-discharge, these batteries can hold onto their energy for quite an extended period, which is great for long-term storage.
Potential Drawbacks:
- Voltage Delay: When a passivated battery starts discharging—especially after being stored or during high-current pulses—the current first needs to break through or dissolve the high-resistance passivation layer. This can temporarily drop the battery's voltage below its normal operating level before it bounces back. This occurrence is often referred to as "voltage delay."
It uses Lithium Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl₂) chemistry, which offers high energy density, wide operating temperature (-55°C to +85°C), and excellent shelf life of up to 10–15 years.
Depending on the application, the ER26500 battery can last up to 10 years or more, especially in low-drain devices or when paired with a capacitor or hybrid pulse capacitor (HPC) for handling pulses.
No. The ER26500 is a primary lithium battery and is not rechargeable. Attempting to recharge it may cause dangerous reactions.
Although they share the same size, ER26500 offers much higher energy capacity, longer life, and more stable performance under extreme conditions compared to alkaline or NiMH C batteries.
Yes. ER26500 is available with various terminations like tabs, wires, or connectors, and can be used individually or in battery packs designed for specific industrial and OEM applications.
