• Internal short circuit: Internal short circuit in a cell. Destruction of the separator can
cause a short circuit between the anode and cathode. Thermal runaway and fire is
possible.
• Water ingress: Internal pressure, thermal runway and chemical reactions may be
the consequence.
SECTION 3: Composition
The battery is solid with a hard surface.
A battery pack consists of several individual cells that are electrically connected, both in
series and parallel.
The battery packs have different number of cells, output voltages and power capacity.
All transponder batteries include protection against short circuits (circuit breakers) and
reverse current (diodes).
The lithium metal cells have the following chemical formula:
Lithium thionyl chloride — Li/SOCl
2
•
Negative electrode
: Lithium
•
Positive electrode
: Carbon
•
Electrolyte
: A solution of lithium tetrachloroaluminate (LiAlCl
4
) in thionyl chloride
•
Battery weight
: 5.9 kg
•
Lithium weight
: 183 g
In case of hazardous events, the noxious gases are:
• Thionyl chloride (SOCl
2
)
• Sulphur dioxide (SO
2
)
• Hydrogen sulphide (H
2
S)
• Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
• Chlorine (Cl
