What is Pacemaker Battery Types and Functions about?
Pacemaker batteries can use either mercury cells or lithium cells. Mercury cells use zinc and mercury electrodes with a sodium hydroxide electrolyte, while lithium cells use lithium and iodine with higher voltage, capacity, lifespan and efficiency. Lithium cells work through lithium ions reacting with iodine ions. Nuclear cells can also power pacemakers through converting radioactive decay into thermal and electrical energy, but carry safety risks.
