    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure involve various battery can designs. In general, the battery can design includes two fitted surfaces oriented opposite each other and seam welded together to form an enclosure in which a battery stack is located. To form the enclosure, the two fitted surfaces are welded together along the large perimeter. Other swelling-resisting advantages may also be achieved utilizing the battery can design described herein including, but not limited to, the ability to modify one or more can wall thicknesses to control a pressure applied to the battery stack by the can, overall reduction in wall thickness of the can through the use of stronger materials for the can surfaces, additional supports structures included within the can design, and/or bossing or other localized thinning of surfaces of the can.

    摘要: Electrical feedthroughs for battery housings are presented. The electrical feedthroughs include a connector, a ceramic insulator, and a terminal. A first seal couples the connector to the ceramic insulator via a first braze alloy. A second seal couples the ceramic insulator to the terminal via a second braze alloy. The electrical feedthroughs can also include a spacer. A first seal couples the connector to the ceramic insulator; a second seal couples the ceramic insulator to the spacer; and the third seal couples the spacer to the terminal. The first seal, the second seal, and the third seal include, respectively, a first braze alloy, a second braze alloy, and a third braze alloy.

    摘要: Energy storage devices, battery cells, and batteries of the present technology may include a housing characterized by a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The housing may include a circumferential indentation proximate the first end. The housing may define a first interior region between the first end and the circumferential indentation, and the housing may define a second interior region between the circumferential indentation and the second end. The batteries may include a set of electrodes located within the housing. The set of electrodes may be positioned within the second interior region of the housing. The batteries may include a cap at least partially contained within the first interior region of the housing. The batteries may also include a first insulator positioned within the housing. The first insulator may extend across the circumferential indentation from the cap to the set of electrodes.
