      abstract = {The present invention relates to non-aqueous electrolytes  having electrode stabilizing additives, stabilized  electrodes, and electrochemical devices containing the  same. Thus the present invention provides electrolytes  containing an alkali metal salt, a polar aprotic solvent,  and an electrode stabilizing additive. In some embodiments  the additives include a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic  or spirocyclic hydrocarbon containing at least one oxygen  atom and at least one alkenyl or alkynyl group. When used  in electrochemical devices with, e.g., lithium manganese  oxide spinel electrodes or olivine or carbon-coated olivine  electrodes, the new electrolytes provide batteries with  improved calendar and cycle life.},
