Contoured battery

摘要

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a battery shaped to be situated within a housing. The battery has a shape that substantially conforms to a shape of a cavity that is defined at least in part by a non-cylindrical curved portion of the housing. The battery includes a contoured conductive mesh formed by shaping a substantially planar conductive mesh to include at least one curved conductive mesh portion. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A method comprising:
shaping a conductive mesh to form a shaped conductive mesh by plastic deformation of the conductive mesh from a first shape that is substantially planar to a second shape that includes a curved portion, wherein upon the plastic deformation from the first shape to the second shape the shaped conductive mesh remains in the second shape; after shaping the conductive mesh, forming a battery from the shaped conductive mesh, wherein the second shape includes a toroidal portion.
