We report the first electrochemical and structural study of the gamma'-V2O5 polymorph toward Li insertion, with cycling properties evaluated in the 4 V-2.4 V, 3.6 V-2.4 V and 4 V-2.15 V potential ranges. This cathode material is synthesized through topotactic lithium removal from the ternary gamma-LiV2O5 bronze, using a strong oxidizing agent. It exhibits two pairs of well-defined reversible steps at 3.58/3.47 V and 2.42/2.36 V separated by a sharp potential drop of about 1 V. A high specific capacity of 285 mAh g(-1) is involved in the 4.00 V-2.15 V voltage window corresponding to the insertion of nearly 2 Li/mole of oxide. The gamma'-V2O5 material can deliver stable specific capacities of 120-185 mAh g(-1) over 45 cycles at C/10 when the lower cut-off voltage is limited to 2.4 V. Cycling experiments in the widest 4.00 V-2.15 V potential range induce however a significant capacity decline. A detailed XRD and Raman spectroscopy study delivers a detailed picture of the structural changes occurring in gamma'-V2O5 as a function of Li content. A complete phase diagram of the gamma'-V2O5/Li system is provided during the first discharge-charge cycle in the extended 4.00 V-2.15 V voltage range, i.e. for 0
