✦ Synopsis

The contribution of self discharge processes to solid state battery behaviour is often assessed using the Wagner polarisation technique, which yields a value for electronic conductivity. The validity of this procedure, is, in principle, suspect because of the different natures of the Wagner cell and the working battery. Results are presented for room temperature silver and copper solid state batteries, for which it appears that, in fact, results for Wagner cells can yield useful data pertinent to self discharge.
