The discharge characteristics of silver vanadium oxide (SVO) as a cathode in lithium-silver vanadium oxide (Li-SVO) primary battery was studied under various operating conditions. The cathode yielded a capacity of 260 mAh g )1 at a current density of 0.08 mA cm )2 , although the theoretical capacity of this material is 315 mAh g )1 . The pulse discharge characteristics were studied under conditions that simulate battery operation inside an implantable cardio-verter defibrillator (ICD). The variation of the ohmic resistance of the system was studied as a function of depth of discharge. Rate capability and impedance studies indicated high diffusion limitations for this system especially at high depth of discharge. Morphological changes during discharge were also discussed using scanning electron microscopic studies.

“…Das Lithium-Iod(Li-I 2 )-System, das 1972 patentiert wurde [16], wird bis zum heutigen Tage erfolgreich zur Versorgung von Schrittmachern eingesetzt und hat sich als Standardsystem für implantierbare Niedrigstromanwendungen etabliert [2,12,17]. Das System zeichnet sich v. a. durch eine hohe Energiedichte (210-270 mWh g −1 bzw.…”

“…Li / SVO batteries have a calculated maximum random failure rate of 0.005% per test month [66]. Hybrid high/low rate systems have been developed [67] which provide energy densities of 650 mW h cm -3 . Li-ion secondary batteries are now being used for both artificial hearts and LVADs [29,30] For hearing aid devices (HAD), 10 mA.h, 3.75 V secondary Li-ion 312-button cells are used which safely produce 10s pulses of 100 mA over background currents of 10 µA [68].…”

An overview is presented of the many ways in which batteries and battery materials are used in medicine and in biomedical studies. These include the use of batteries as power sources for motorised wheelchairs, surgical tools, cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, dynamic prostheses, sensors and monitors for physiological parameters, neurostimulators, devices for pain relief, and iontophoretic, electroporative and related devices for drug administration. The various types of battery and fuel cell used for this wide range of applications will be considered, together with the potential harmful side effects, including accidental ingestion of batteries and the explosive nature of some of the early cardiac pacemaker battery systems. +44-116-257-7146 0r +44 -7703-21185;, fax +44-116-250-6431; email rgl@dmu.ac.uk AbstractAn overview is presented of the many ways in which batteries and battery materials are used in medicine and in biomedical studies.
