ABSTRACT
During the last two decades of the 20th century the lithium battery technique played a more and more important part in the market,1 at first for the more expensive special applications as, e.g. the military and air-and spacecraft technologies. Its technique is one of the more recent results of research and development in the fields of applied electrochemistry. New products like lithium batteries were accessible because of the progress in chemistry, physics, materials sciences, analytics, measurement and control technology, and finally production technology, leading to something new even if this was based on old ideas.2
