Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to an electrical feedthrough for a cylindrical battery cell. The electrical feedthrough may include an annular channel having an outer sidewall, an inner sidewall, and a base; an insulator formed of glass having an overmold portion; and a pin extending through the insulator and configured to form an external battery terminal. The insulator is bonded to the inner sidewall of the annular channel and a portion of the base of the annular channel. The overmold portion prevents electrical contact between a set of electrodes and the electrode feedthrough.

Abstract: Battery cells are presented that have notched electrodes. In one embodiment, the battery cells have a first notch in an electrode and a second notch in a seal. The second notch allows a first portion of the seal adjacent the first edge to fold without overlapping a second portion of the seal adjacent the second edge. The first notch serves as a relief zone that enables the seal to maintain a seal distance during folding. In another embodiment, the battery cells have a first notch in an electrode and a second notch in a portion of a separator. The first notch and the second notch, in combination, allow the separator to fold along a fold line without tearing. Other battery cells are presented.

Abstract: An electronic enclosure includes walls that extend crosswise from one another to define a portion of an internal volume of the electronic enclosure. The walls extend from one another via an interface formed between the walls. The interface includes a notch, such as an arcuate portion, configured to concentrate stress caused by pressure buildup within the internal volume such that an amount of stress at the notch is greater than an amount of stress at other portions of the electronic enclosure.
