摘要： A battery is provided with an end-of-cell voltage indicating device which can be used to indicate the state-of-charge of the battery. The indicating device has a flexible substrate of the same peripheral configuration as the battery. The substrate has an indicating coating on one surface which is in thermal or electrical contact with a conductive circuit pattern which can be temporarily connected between the terminals of the battery on application of pressure to an indicated spot on the surface of the substrate. The conductive circuit means causes the indicating coating to undergo a visible change which is representative of the state-of-charge or voltage of the battery. A dual end-switched, integral battery and state-of-charge indicating device having two switches disposed on one end of the battery is also disclosed.

摘要： A battery construction is disclosed that includes a housing and a spiral-wound electrode assembly disposed in the housing and defining at least two electrochemical cells that are electrically connected in series. Both of the cells include wound layers of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a polymer electrolyte provided between the positive and negative electrode layers. The layers of each successive electrochemical cell are wound around the layers of the previous cell and are preferably separated therefrom by an insulating layer. By utilizing a polymer electrolyte, the need for expensive microporous separator layers is eliminated as is the need for providing separate sealed containers to construct a multi-cell battery. Thus, a less-expensive and space-efficient multi-cell spiral-wound electrode construction may be obtained.

摘要： The thermochromic battery tester comprises a conductive heating element having one end including at least two switch pads for selective coupling of the conductive heating element to a second terminal of the battery. Each of the switch pads provides a different resistivity for the heating element when pressed, to thereby change the calibration of the tester for different discharge rates. The battery tester further includes discharge rate calibration indicia associated with each of the switch pads for indicating which switch pad to press for proper calibration at a relative rate of discharge. The conductive heating element may have at least a portion thereof made of a variable resistivity material having a resistivity that changes in response to ambient temperature so as to compensate for varying ambient temperatures. Preferably, the variable resistivity material has a resistivity that increases as ambient temperature increases.
