    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a battery utilizing a dampening layer to prevent a failure of the battery. The battery includes an enclosure, a set of electrodes enclosed within the enclosure, and a dampening layer disposed within the set of electrodes. The dampening layer partitions the set of electrodes into a first subset of electrodes and a second subset of electrodes. The dampening layer is configured to absorb a mechanical impact on the enclosure to prevent a failure of at least one of the first subset of electrodes and the second subset of electrodes. The dampening layer may be formed at least one of a polymer, metal, and ceramic.

    Abstract: Electronic devices according to embodiments of the present technology may include a first device section having an electronic connector. The first device section may be characterized by a first thickness. The electronic devices may include a second device section characterized by a second thickness. The electronic devices may include a hinge section extending along a length of the first device section and a length of the second device section. The second device section may be bendably coupled with the first device section about the hinge section. The hinge section may be characterized by a third thickness less than the first thickness and the second thickness. The electronic devices may include a battery including a first battery section housed in the first device section. The battery may include a second battery section housed in the second device section.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a set of battery tabs. The battery tabs include a first tab forming an elongated member, a second tab forming an elongated member, and a unitary seal surrounding a portion of the respective elongated members of the first tab and the second tab. The unitary seal spaces the first tab apart from the second tab to create a gap between the first tab and the second tab. The first tab and second tab each connect to respective electrodes enclosed within a pouch of a battery cell to allow the cell's energy to be transferred to an external component.
