Lithium thionyl chloride batteries go bad when no load is applied to them. They must have a load applied periodically or they will go open circuit within a few months. I've got a situation where I need to store a large number of ER18505 lithium thionyl chloride batteries on a shelf for one to two years. I was wondering if any commercial products exist to accommodate this need? (it would be something that connects to or holds the batteries and periodically applies a small load to keep them alive -- Jason White
