Abstract: A battery includes a battery case including a housing having side walls defining a first open end and a second open end, the battery case including a separate top cover to cover the first open end of the housing and a separate bottom cover to cover the second open end of the housing; a first electrode located within the case; a second electrode located within the case; a first terminal coupled to the first electrode and exposed outside the case; and a second terminal coupled to the second electrode and exposed outside the case.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to simplified and space efficient designs for multiplate batteries. In an embodiment, an electrochemical cell is included having an multiplate anode and multiplate cathode with a separator to provide physical separation between anode and cathode plates. Anode collectors can be in electrical communication with each anode plate and anode tabs in electrical communication with each anode collector. Cathode collectors can be in electrical communication with each cathode plate and cathode tabs in electrical communication with each cathode collector. An anode busbar can interconnect the plurality of anode tabs in parallel and a cathode busbar can interconnect the plurality of cathode tabs in parallel. The cathode busbar can be oriented such that the cathode tabs are not disposed between the cathode busbar and the plurality of cathode plates. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: An implantable device, such as a pacer, defibrillator, or other cardiac rhythm management device, can include one or more MRI Safe components. In an example, the implantable device includes a battery including a first electrode and a second electrode separate from the first electrode. The second electrode includes a first surface and a second surface. The second electrode includes a slot through the second electrode from the first surface toward the second surface. The slot extends from a perimeter of the second electrode to an interior of the second electrode. The slot is configured to at least partially segment a surface area of the second electrode to reduce a radial current loop size in the second electrode.
