✦ Synopsis
The design, construction and evaluation of hermetically sealed Li/SOCl, D cells are presented. The cells delivered high energy densities (184 WHr/lb and 13.5 WHr/in3) when fresh and showed excellent retention of intrinsic capacity but loss of rate capability on storage at 72" and 55°C. The cells showed severe voltage delays at -30°C following 72" or 55°C storage, particularly at drains of OSA or greater. The cells tended to explode on 10A discharge, on short circuit and on overdischarge. Approaches to alleviate these problems have been explored and the results will be discussed.

A simple transient heat dissipation model based on the lumped-heatcapacity concept was developed to predict the timedependent cell temperature at different discharge rates and compared with expenmental results. This model predicts that at the C/2 rate a "D" cell temperature will remain below catastr
