Abstract: The present invention relates to electrochemical cells and to closure assemblies for aqueous alkaline electrolyte cells of the conventional cylindrical type. The closure assembly is for the negative terminal and comprises an internal cap disc in unsecured electrical contact with an internal cap ring. When pressure within the cell increases, for example due to gas generation by electrolysis of the electrolyte through abuse or overcharging, the cap disc moves away from the cap ring, breaking the electrical contact and disrupting the electrochemical circuit within the cell. This prevents further gas generation and pressure build-up, thereby preventing a failure of the internal blow out safety vent and escape of the corrosive electrolyte. In time, the pressure dissipates and the cap disc again makes contact with the cap ring, permitting the cell to be used again.
