Appeal No. 2005-1149
Application No. 09/855,235
1. An electrochemical battery comprising at least two
electrically interconnected electrochemical cells, each
electrochemical cell comprising:
an anode comprising carbon;
a cathode comprising a modified lithium metal oxide
including at least one additional element selected from the
group consisting of nickel, aluminum, magnesium, titanium,
and combinations thereof; and
a Schottky diode connected between the anode and the
cathode of the electrochemical cell.
12. An electrochemical battery comprising at least two
electrically interconnected electrochemical cells, each
electrochemical cell comprising:
an anode;
a cathode comprising a cathode active material which
exhibits a full-discharge cell potential that is more
negative than a negative bypass voltage; and
a cell current bypass connected between the anode and
the cathode, the cell current bypass conducting current
between the anode and the cathode to short circuit the
electrochemical cell only at voltages more negative than the
negative bypass voltage.
15. A method of operating a battery system, comprising
the steps of providing an electrochemical battery
comprising at least two electrically interconnected
electrochemical cells, each electrochemical cell comprising:
an anode comprising carbon,
a cathode comprising a modified lithium metal oxide
including at least one additional element selected from the
group consisting of nickel, aluminum, magnesium, titanium,
and combinations thereof, and
