A lithium battery includes a positive electrode designed as a hollow cylinder and defines a cavity, a negative electrode arranged in the cavity, a separator, a liquid electrolyte, a first current collector for the negative electrode, a second current collector for the positive electrode, an at least two-part housing that encloses an interior space in which the positive electrode together with the negative electrode arranged in the cavity and the separator are arranged, wherein a pin is provided as a first current collector inside the housing, a part of the housing serves as a second current collector, the pin has a first, terminal section embedded in the negative electrode and in direct contact with the negative electrode, and the pin has a second section not in direct contact with the negative electrode, and an insulator element that protects the second section at least partially against direct contact with the electrolyte.

Lithium battery

A DME-free lithium battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a liquid electrolyte composed of a solvent and at least one lithium electrolyte salt and with which the electrode and the separator are impregnated, wherein the solvent includes propylene carbonate (PC) as a first solvent component and 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) as a second solvent component, and the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode have a proportion of carbon black having a BET surface area of at least 1 m/g.
