lithium-manganese dioxide cell

A lithium-manganese dioxide cell is a type of primary battery that uses lithium as its anode and manganese dioxide as its cathode. These cells are known for their high energy density and relatively low cost, making them suitable for small appliances and automatic cameras. They typically operate at a voltage of 2.8–3.2 volts.12

Lithium batteries, in general, utilize nonaqueous electrolytes due to the high chemical activity of lithium. While offering advantages like high power and energy density, lithium batteries can be sensitive to high temperatures, potentially leading to thermal runaway if not properly managed. They also require manufacturing under very dry conditions to prevent moisture from causing dangerous reactions.2
