An edge seal for a lithium or other consumable method anode (12), (42), (62) comprises a hydrophobic, chemically inert polymer coating having a high ratio of flexural modulus to flexural strength, a low Izod impact value, and low elongation properties. The seal is preferably applied to the edge (36), (56), (74) of the anode under an atmosphere of gas which is non-reactive with the anodic metal. |
