  • Patent number: 8574008
    Abstract: A battery cell connector includes a first terminal part formed for connection to a battery terminal of a first battery, a second terminal part, and a connecting part arranged between the terminal parts and electrically connecting the terminal parts to one another. The connecting part has a Z-shaped longitudinal cross-section. The Z-shaped longitudinal cross-section includes a central web which is inclined by no more than 20° such that the connecting part is elastically deformable in at least two perpendicular spatial directions. The first terminal part is formed from a first electrically conductive material and a flat piece formed from a second and different type electrically conductive material may be bonded to the second terminal part. It is often desirable for the conductive material to correspond to the battery terminal to which it is to be joined.

  • Publication number: 20120100761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a battery cell connector 1 comprising a first terminal part 2 formed for connection to a battery terminal of a first battery, a second terminal part 4, and a connecting part 6 which is arranged between the terminal parts 2, 4 and electrically connects the terminal parts 2, 4 to one another. Uniform connection of battery terminals 22, 24 is ensured in that the first terminal part 2 is formed at least on the side A facing towards a battery terminal 22, 24 from a first electrically conductive material, and in that a flat piece 8, which is formed for connection to a second battery terminal 22, 24 and is formed at least on the side A facing the second battery terminal from a second electrically conductive material different from the first electrically conductive material, is arranged with a material fit on the second terminal part 4.
