    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a battery cell includes providing a battery cell container. The method also includes generating a first battery monocell having a respective anode, cathode, first separator arranged therebetween, and a second separator arranged adjacent to the corresponding anode. The method additionally includes generating a second battery monocell having a respective anode, cathode, first separator arranged therebetween, and a second separator arranged adjacent to the corresponding anode. The method also includes stacking the first battery monocell and the second battery monocell such that the second separator of the first battery monocell is adjacent to the cathode of the second battery monocell. The method further includes arranging the stacked first and second battery monocells in the battery cell container.

    Abstract: A battery cell for a vehicle includes a cell can having a first wall, a second wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. 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. The cell stack support includes at least one passage that transports gases from the channel to the vent.

    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.

    Abstract: A prismatic battery cell assembly has a prismatic container that includes a body portion composed of opposed first and second side portions, opposed first and second end portions, a bottom portion, and a top portion. An electrode stack is composed as anodes interleaved with cathodes. Each of the anodes includes a first current collector having an uncoated anode current collector portion that extends in a first direction away from the electrode stack, and each of the cathodes includes a second current collector having an uncoated cathode current collector portion that extends in a second direction away from the electrode stack. A first terminal is joined to the uncoated anode current collector portions of the first current collectors of the anodes, and a terminal is joined to the uncoated cathode current collector portions of the second current collectors of the cathodes.

    Abstract: A battery cell includes a first electrode stack and a second electrode stack, each having at least one pair of anode and cathode elements. The cell also includes a container defining an internal chamber housing the first and second electrode stacks and having external first and second battery terminals. The cell additionally includes a first electrically conductive tab connected to the first battery terminal and to each anode element in the first and second electrode stacks and having a first expandable portion arranged between the first and second electrode stacks. The cell also includes a second electrically conductive tab connected to the second battery terminal and to each cathode element in the first and second electrode stacks and having a second expandable portion arranged between the first and second electrode stacks. The expandable portions absorb alternating expansion and contraction of the subject electrode stacks during cell charging and discharging.
