  • Flexible Thin Printed Battery and Device and Method of Manufacturing Same
    Publication number: 20100040941
    Abstract: A flat, flexible electrochemical cell is provided. The within invention describes various aspects of the flat, flexible electrochemical cell. A printed anode is provided that obviates the need for a discrete anode current collector, thereby reducing the size of the battery. An advantageous electrolyte is provided that enables the use of a metallic cathode current collector, thereby improving the performance of the battery. Printable gelled electrolytes and separators are provided, enabling the construction of both co-facial and co-planar batteries. Cell contacts are provided that reduce the potential for electrolyte creepage in the flat, flexible electrochemical cells of the within invention.
    Type: Application

  • Interlocking cell constructions
    Publication number: 20020076580
    Abstract: A battery cell that can be combined with one or more identical cells in a stacked arrangement in which the cells are electrically connected in either series or in parallel includes a housing having integral connectors facilitating releasable attachment of the battery cell to an identical battery cell. In one embodiment, the battery cell is provided with a plurality of positive terminals and a plurality of negative terminals, whereby stacking of the batteries in either of two different orientations is facilitated to achieve either a parallel electrical connection or a series electrical connection.
