Lithium-Manganese Dioxide (Li-MnO2) Batteries
Li-MnO2 batteries are primary (non-rechargeable) batteries.
The cell has a solid cathode of manganese dioxide (MnO2).
BA-5372/U has two cells/battery, each
containing
approximately 0.14 grams (g) of lithium (Li). BA-5516/U has
nine cells, each containing approximately 0.49 g of Li.
