These requirements can only be met with high energy lithium cells
and batteries. Lithium batteries do have a significantly higher energy
density compared to conventional batteries, as shown in the graphic.
This high energy density allows to build powerful batteries with
a very small volume.

cell technology
Cells in this technology belong to the 3 V-Systems. They utilize metallic lithium for
the anode and solid MnO2 for the cathode. Typical characteristics are a high energy
density up to 280 Wh/kg. They do not contain any aggressive or corrosive substances.
More specific features are:
Separator
Safety vent
Separation between anodes and cathodes is made
by a shutdown separator, which provides an impor-
tant safety feature of these cells. This separator is
composed of three layers: One Polyethylene layer is
