Abstract

A thermal battery incorporating a sacrificial resistive heater (7) connectable between the terminals of the battery and operable to maintain the electrolyte above its freezing point after initiation of the battery and for as long as useful capacity remains in the battery. The heater may take the form of a conducting film deposited on a heat-resisting substrate or a wire coil retained on a former and may be located either within a central shaft of the battery or it may surround the stack of cells within the thermal insulation layer (3) of the battery. The heater may be directly connected electrically to the ends of the cell stack or it may be connected thereto indirectly via an internal or external timer to be switched on after a pre-determined time lapse from initiation, and the heater may be thermostatically controlled.
