Performance. The open-circuit voltage of the Li/SOCl cell is 3.65 V; typical operating voltages
2
range between 3.3 and 3.6 V with an end voltage of 3.0 V. Typical discharge curves for the Li/SOCl
2
battery are shown in Fig. 14.17a for the D-size cell. The Li/SOCl cell discharges are characterized
2
by a flat profile with good performance over a wide range of temperatures and low- to moderate-
rate discharges. Figure 14.17b shows the operating voltage of the bobbin D-cell at various drain
