COMPONENT INCLUDING A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

摘要

According to the invention there is provided a component including a rechargeable battery and a method of producing same. The component uses lithium ion chemistry and the battery has an anode structure, a cathode structure, and a separator structure which separates the anode from the cathode and contains an electrolyte. The anode structure and the cathode structure are each formed from a composite material which includes electrically conductive fibres and electrochemically active material in a binder matrix and the battery is formed to be structurally inseparable from the rest of the component.
