Thermal batteries, also known as "molten salt" batteries, are used in applications where there is an immediate or sudden demand for electric power. They offer a power source that is extremely reliable and can operate at a wide range of temperatures. Furthermore, they have longer shelf lives (more than 15 years), and there is no deterioration of the active materials during storage, as the battery's electrolyte is stored in a dry state, and activated only when needed by the pyrotechnic charge. This eliminates the loss of capacity, and is the main reason missiles and torpedoes rely on thermal batteries, as they require an extremely reliable power source that can be stored or used at any point in time.
However, as defense spending is cyclical, demand and market growth is largely dependent on replacement levels in traditional applications in addition to the exploration of new applications for this technology. "Having said that, commercial civil applications are limited due to the expensive nature of this type of battery and its limited supplier base," notes the analyst of this research service. "In addressing this challenge, thermal battery manufacturers continue to explore upcoming application areas such as smart munitions, sonobuoys, emergency power, hybrid applications, and so on."
