Abstract: The invention relates to electrochemical cells intended to be electrically connected up in series. Such a connection is obtained by means of a mechanical link between the terminals of opposite polarities of two adjacent cells. That mechanical link may be formed by a spring-catch system, screwing or locking. The invention applies more particularly to cylindrical electric cells.

Abstract: a battery formed of a plurality of disc-shaped cells of substantially the same voltage, connected in series and encased by an electrically nonconductive sheath to form a cylindrical unit having a positive terminal at one end and a negative terminal at the other end. The sheath contains an orientation groove for locating the battery in a predetermined orientation in a receiving compartment.
