Abstract
A non-aqueous lead oxide cell having a negative electrode, such as lithium, a non-aqueous electrolyte, a positive electrode comprising lead dioxide housed in a positive terminal conductive container, and wherein a layer of lead and/or lead monoxide is interposed substantially between the positive lead dioxide electrode and the inner surface of the positive terminal conductive container so as to achieve a substantially unipotential discharge for the cell over its useful life.
