Abstract: The thin battery of the invention comprises an anode material, a cathode material, two or more separator paper layers there between, and electrolyte. One of the outer separator paper layers has an anode material applied thereon, another separator paper layer being an outer layer on the opposite side having a cathode material applied thereon. The method of the invention for manufacturing such a thin battery is mainly characterized by the steps of wetting a separator paper with an electrolyte solution, applying an anode material on a first separator paper and applying a cathode material on a second separator paper. The separator papers are then combined by pressing them together so that the anode and cathode materials are outmost, respectively in order to form a layered structure. The combined layers are then cut in desired sizes.

Abstract: The thin battery has an anode material and a cathode material applied as pastes on one or more separator paper layers there between. The battery also has an aqueous electrolyte solution, binders and additives. The cathode paste furthermore has conductive material at least partly of carbon nanotubes.
