A first electrode is formed from a first solid state electrolyte and a first conductive material where the first conductive material is irreversible to the mobile ions contained in the first solid state electrolyte and the first conductive material exceeds the percolation limit. An electrolyte is formed on the first electrode. A second electrode is formed on the electrolyte. The second electrode is formed from a second solid state electrolyte and a second conductive material where the second conductive material is irreversible to the mobile ions contained in the second solid state electrolyte and the second conductive material exceeds the percolation limit. A second current collector is formed on the second electrode.
