A feedthrough arrangement includes a titanium alloy terminal for conducting electrical current between a first environment within a housing and a second environment outside of the housing. An insulating member is positioned around a portion of the terminal. A sleeve member is positioned around the insulating member. The terminal, insulating member, and insulating member all being in sealing engagement therewith to environmentally isolate the first and second environments.

An electrode composition that includes an electrode material consisting essentially of at least one electrochemically inactive elemental metal and at least one electrochemically active elemental metal in the form of an amorphous mixture at ambient temperature. The mixture remains amorphous when the electrode composition is incorporated into a lithium battery and cycled through at least one full charge-discharge cycle at ambient temperature.
