  • Electrochemical cell with graded electrode leads
    Patent number: 6416900
    Abstract: An electrochemical cell has electrode leads of different lengths extending from the terminals to the respective plate sets of the cell. The electrode leads have a cross-sectional area which varies along the length of the electrode leads, such that the electrical resistances of the electrode leads are substantially the same. Typically, each electrode lead has a first region having a first cross-sectional area, and a second region having a second cross-sectional area. The relative lengths of the first region and the second region of the electrode leads are varied to achieve the substantially constant total resistance.
