[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. In a battery comprising an anode, a cathode that includes a chemically reducible material into which is intimately mixed an amount of an electrically conductive material sufficient to enhance the electrical conductivity of said chemically reducible material, and an electrolyte, the improvement wherein said electrically conductive material comprises carbon microfibers in the form of aggregates, each microfiber having a diameter between 3.5 to 75 nanometers, the amount of microfibers incorporated into said cathode being less than or equal to 0.5 grams per gram of said chemically reducible material.
