In an electrochemical cell with a light metal (esp. lithium) anode, a porous metal or carbon (e.g. acetylene black) cathode and and a liq. electrolyte in the form of a non-aq. inorganic solvent consisting of a gp. Va and/or VIa element oxy cpd. or oxyhalide cpd., the novelty is that (a) the electrolyte is stored in in a closed container separate from the other cell components and is fed into the cell for cell operation; (b) the basic component of the electrolyte is thionyl chloride contg. lithium tetrachloro-aluminate and a high content of aluminium chloride for increased conductivity; and (c) 1-90 (pref. 1-10) vol % oxidant is added to the basic electrolyte component, the oxidant being sulphuryl chloride and opt. chlorine and being electrochemically reduced at a higher potential than the basic electrolyte component.
