Electrochemical battery for conversion of low rate energy into high rate energy by parallel discharging

摘要

An electrode configuration for use in a defibrillator battery to improve the battery capacity and its utilization efficiency by using a combination SVO cell and a CFx cell discharged in parallel, is described. In other words, the anode of the SVO cell is connected to the anode of the CFx cell and the cathode of the SVO cell is connected to the cathode of the CFx cell. The SVO cell provides a relatively high discharge rate while the CFx cell results in long service life. This results in 100% of the usable capacity from both cells being utilized.
