Abstract
The invention relates to an electrochemical storage cell based on sodium and sulphur. A disadvantage of the known storage cells of this type is the fact that if assembled to form batteries, failures of individual storage cells result in fairly large capacity losses of the battery. These disadvantages are avoided by fixing the quantitative ratio of sulphur to sodium as a function of the rated capacity of the storage cell in such a way that the voltage at the end of the rated discharge has a specified value and the sodium polysulphide which forms during the discharge has a specified composition.
