1. High-temperature" batteries with lithium anode
Accumulators of this type have not been commercially successful, but they have paved the way for systems that are now considered promising. It is for this reason that they are briefly described here. The first to reach a certain level of development are lithium-chlorine and lithium-sulfur systems.
The lithium-chlorine system is described by the formula :
The discharge reaction is written as :

Legislative framework for batteries and accumulators
This legislative framework essentially concerns the thresholds not to be exceeded for hazardous products, as well as provisions for the disposal of used batteries.
Firstly, it is important to note that the texts refer to "batteries and accumulators". Considerations specific to accumulators have been extracted wherever possible.
1. European standards
...Treatment of hazardous substances
1. Mercury
The obligations imposed by Decree no. 91-1971 of December 29, 1999 have been met. According to the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development, whose representative replied to a written question (July 9, 2003), "The quantity of 12 tonnes of mercury present in batteries in France corresponds to the level at the beginning of the 1990s... As early as 1994, the mass of mercury...

Battery manufacturers (non-exhaustive list)
European battery manufacturers have joined forces to form the EUROBAT association ( http://www.eurobat.org ). The association comprises 37 companies, both regular and associate members, and represents over 85% of the European accumulator industry. The association describes itself as "the unified voice of...
