So lid state batteri es w ith lithium and a n in sert ion material as acti ve electrode compo nents and a poly (ethylene oxide) based electrolyte, have prove n to be feas ible altern atives to th e c lassica l secondary battery system s. The so lid state electroc hemical cell Li 1. 1 Mn204 1 PEO:LiC I0 4 1 G raphite was fabricated by sandwiching the thin electrol yte film between th e cathode and anode pellets. This sandwi ch was pressed between suita bl e curren t co ll ecto rs in a spring

Also energy de nsiti es we re calc ul ated. Constant current di scharge curves were obtained at several load va lues. The observed e nergy den sity is 47 J/kg for 0. 1 M ohm load. The lithium sa lt conten t of th e pol ymer e lectrol yte is found to decrease at the positive electrode w hil st increasi ng at th e lithium sid e. The res ult s predict th at the critical charge at which the c urves deviate should be in versely proportional to the current.
