Abstract: A prismatic battery having a first electrode stack, second electrode stack and a thermal barrier disposed between the first and second electrode stack. The first electrode stack has a first anode, a first cathode and a first separator disposed between the first anode and the first cathode. The second electrode stack has a second anode, a second cathode and a second separator disposed between the second anode and the second cathode. The first electrode stack, the thermal barrier and the second electrode stack form a first cell or stack assembly. The first stack assembly is disposed within an interior of a housing containing an electrolyte.

Abstract: A battery cell includes a gas flow vent system including a cell can having a plurality of walls that define a cell stack receiving zone. The plurality of walls include a vent surface including a vent opening and a gas flow guide surface. A cell stack is arranged in the cell stack receiving zone. A spacer is arranged in the cell stack receiving zone adjacent the gas flow guide surface. The spacer includes a first surface facing the cell stack and a second surface spaced from the gas flow guide surface so as to define a gas flow duct that channels gases from the cell stack to the vent opening.

Abstract: A power cell includes a plurality of anode, cathode and separator sheets arranged as layers and disposed within a container. An anode terminal protrudes from the layers, and a cathode terminal protrudes from the layers. A cover plate seals the container and includes a first fill port. A reusable fill port plug is disposed within the first fill port. The reusable fill port plug has a threaded shaft extending axially from a head along an axis defined by the threaded shaft and a compressible seal disposed about the threaded shaft and contacting the head.

Abstract: Some embodiments disclosed herein are directed to battery cells with battery stacks having different tab lengths. Some embodiments may include a first battery stack that includes a first plurality of tabs extending from the first battery stack, and a second battery stack adjacent to the first battery stack that includes a second plurality of tabs extending from the second battery stack, where the second plurality of tabs are shorter than the first plurality of tabs. A weld plate may be welded to the first plurality of tabs and the second plurality of tabs without trimming the first plurality of tabs. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
