The first wall, the second wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall defining an electrode stack receiving zone. A vent is formed in the second wall. The vent is spaced from the first side wall and the second side wall. The vent fluidically connects the electrode stack receiving zone with an exterior of the cell can. An electrode stack is positioned in the electrode stack receiving zone. The electrode stack is spaced from of the first side wall by a channel. A cell stack support is arranged in the electrode stack receiving zone and supporting the electrode stack above the second wall.

Abstract: A battery cell includes a case and an electrode stack disposed within the case. The battery cell includes an anode including a first conductive tab, a cathode including a second conductive tab, and a separator. The battery cell further includes two electrical connections, each attached to one of the first conductive tab or the second conductive tab and to one of a negative terminal and a positive terminal, respectively. The anode, the cathode, and the separator each include a common perimeter including a first portion matching a shape of an interior surface of the case and a second portion including a cut-out configured to recede from the interior surface. The second portion of the anode, the cathode, and the separator are aligned and create a region between the stack and the interior surface. The tabs and electrical connections are disposed within the region.
