Structures of conventional examples and their problems Many thermal batteries generally have a heat generating agent inside, and the heat generated by the heat generating agent dissolves the molten salt electrolyte, which is solid at room temperature, and activates it as a battery. It has the advantage of being able to draw a large current. However, in conventional thermal batteries, the incidence of internal shoots is extremely high, making it difficult to obtain a stable discharge voltage without voltage fluctuations.

On the other hand, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-84038, the current collectors of the positive and negative electrodes are formed into a molded body (hereinafter referred to as DEB pellets) consisting of a mixture of an electrolyte, a depolarizing agent, and a binder at the outer periphery of the unit cell and the inner periphery of the fire guide hole. We use a method of not exposing them rather than exposing them. but,
This method requires large DEB pellets exposed from the positive and negative electrode current collectors, making it difficult to miniaturize the unit cell. Further, it has drawbacks such as complicated battery assembly.
