Electrochemical cell design for use under high shock and vibration conditions

摘要

A stabilising structure uses a number of electrode connections at both the top and bottom of the stack. Constructing the cell casing having a tubular shape rather than the typical deep drawn can shape, allows access to the lower portion of the stack. There, additional leads are welded to the cell case, which significantly adds to the stability of the stack within the case. The lower portion of the case is then within the case. The lower portion of the case is then hermetically sealed by fitting and welding a disc in place.
