<p>In a system made up of battery units ( 2 ) and corresponding terminal connectors ( 10 ), the battery units may be combined in different ways in order to obtain larger battery groups. Each battery unit ( 2 ) has one surface that forms a terminal area ( 3 ) and that includes two terminals ( 6, 7 ), this surface having longitudinal edges ( 4 ) with a length (a), and lateral edges ( 5 ) with a width (b), (a) being equal or nearly equal to (2b), and the distance of each terminal ( 6, 7 ) to the longitudinal edges ( 4 ), as well as to the adjacent narrow edge ( 5 ) being equal or nearly equal to (b/2). A terminal connector ( 10 ) connects two terminals ( 6, 7 ) of adjacent battery units ( 2, 2 ') and includes an electrical junction ( 12 ) having two connection points ( 16, 17 ) at its ends and a span equal or nearly equal to (b). Vertical connectors may be provided to interconnect terminals of battery units belonging to different layers of stacked up batteries.</p> |
