One embodiment of the present subject matter includes a battery having a stack of substantially planar battery electrodes, the stack including a first electrode including a first tab, and a second electrode including a second tab, with the first tab electrically connected to the second tab. The embodiment includes a first separator layer and a second separator layer sandwiching the first electrode, with the edges of the first separator layer and the second separator connected with a weld, the first separator layer and the second separator layer defining an interior space in which the first electrode is disposed, with the first tab extending outside the interior space. The embodiment includes an battery housing having electrolyte disposed therein, the housing including at least a first aperture and a feedthrough aperture; a lid conformed and sealed to the first aperture; and a feedthrough conformed and sealed to the feedthrough aperture.

Implantable medical leads and methods of forming such leads are disclosed. An implantable medical lead includes a lead body, a swage base coupled to the lead body, and a polymeric member interposed at least in part between the swage base and at least one rigid component of the lead such as an electrode or annular ring. The swage base includes an annular-shaped body including a flange having a number of protrusions that extend radially outward from the flange. During a swaging process, the protrusions on the flange are compressed against the polymeric member, forming a number of channels in the member that mechanically bond the member to the swage base.

The present subject matter relates to a method which includes positioning a bottom and top polymeric separator sheet on a working surface, with a substantially planar battery anode disposed therebetween; applying a pressure and an electrical current to a cutting and welding tool such that top and bottom polymeric separator sheets are welded into a bag and such that the bag is excised from the top and bottom separator sheets, with the battery anode disposed in the bag; stacking the battery anode and at least one cathode into a battery stack; and disposing the battery stack into a battery case having at least one feedthrough, with a first terminal connected to the battery stack through the at least one feedthrough, and with the battery case filled with an electrolyte, wherein the protrusion is defined by laser cutting the cutting and welding tool, machining the cutting and welding tool, or photochemical etching the cutting and welding tool.
摘要:
One aspect relates to a system for stacking electrodes. In various embodiments, the system comprises a working surface, a device to stack foil electrodes on the working surface during an assembly process to form an electrode stack, and a magnetic source to apply a magnetic field proximate to the working surface. The magnetic field influences at least some of the electrodes and holds the electrode stack to the working surface during the assembly process. A second aspect relates to a process for stacking electrodes. In various embodiments, the process comprises forming an electrode stack proximate to a working surface during an assembly process. The electrode stack includes two or more foil electrodes, at least one of which is magnetic. The process provides a magnetic field to influence the at least one magnetic electrode and holds the one or more electrodes to the working surface. Other aspects are provided herein.
