Each lithium atom supplies one electron. If all of the stated lithium is electrochemically accessible and there is enough iron disulfide, the ideal electric charge isThe voltage is not needed to calculate charge. At an assumed constant 1.5 V the corresponding ideal energy would be , but an actual discharge voltage varies with load and state of charge. Side reactions, incomplete utilization and the practical cutoff reduce accessible capacity. The preceding optimal ratio would require approximately 1.96 g of iron disulfide for this amount of lithium.
