4. Lead dioxide batteries. Electrolyte: fluoroboric acid
In some battery applications, the user is looking for a long storage life (over a decade, for example), a very small volume (a few tens to a hundred cubic centimeters), a short activation time (several tens of milliseconds to a second), low cost and can make do with a short discharge time (a few seconds to a minute or a little more). It is possible to use the lead-lead dioxide couple featuring an electrolyte consisting of fluoroboric acid (HBF 4). Given the size of the battery, the inactive parts of the battery become predominant, and mass energies are low: on the order of one watt-hour per kilogram of battery.
Typical applications for these batteries are proximity fuses and intelligent artillery projectiles, whose shock at the start of the shot and rapid rotation...
