Abstract
An intimate mixture of two or more finely divided metals is formed into a heat pad or pellet for a thermal battery. The metals are chosen to react exothermically in a self-sustaining manner to provide a heat source for the battery whereby the battery electrolyte, normally a solid, is melted and the battery generates current.
