Abstract: One embodiment of the present subject matter includes a battery having a stack of substantially planar battery electrodes, the stack including a first electrode including a first tab, and a second electrode including a second tab, with the first tab electrically connected to the second tab. The embodiment includes a first separator layer and a second separator layer sandwiching the first electrode, with the edges of the first separator layer and the second separator connected with a weld, the first separator layer and the second separator layer defining an interior space in which the first electrode is disposed, with the first tab extending outside the interior space. The embodiment includes a battery housing having electrolyte disposed therein, the housing including at least a first aperture and a feedthrough aperture; a lid conformed and sealed to the first aperture; and a feedthrough conformed and sealed to the feedthrough aperture.

Abstract: A lead assembly having a push-extendable active fixation mechanism. As the terminal end of the lead is pushed, the active fixation element extends from the lead body to a predetermined extension length. Optionally, a seal is formed at the distal end when the terminal is pushed and the terminal moves axially. A further option includes providing a snap fit connection with the terminal when the terminal end is pushed and the active fixation element is fully extended.
