A method and battery are provided comprising a case having a first electrode (FIG. 2, 206) and a second electrode (FIG. 2, 208), a first conductor (FIG. 2, 212) having a first portion (FIG. 5, 506 and 514) for directing a first current (FIG. 2, 214) from a first electrode (FIG. 2, 206), a second conductor (FIG. 2, 216) having a first portion (FIG. 5, 508 and 514) for directing a second current (FIG. 2, 218) from a second electrode (FIG. 2, 208), a second portion of the first conductor (FIG. 2, 212) for carrying the first current (FIG. 2, 214) in a first direction, and a third portion of the first conductor (FIG. 2, 212) for carrying the first current (FIG. 2, 214) respectively in a second direction. The first portion (FIG. 5, 506 and 514) of the first conductor (FIG. 2, 212) and the first portion (FIG. 5, 508 and 514) of the second conductor (FIG. 2, 216) are substantially symmetric and proximate. The second portion (FIG. 5, 516) and the third portion (FIG. 5, 518) are outside the case (FIG. 5, 502), and the first direction (FIG. 2, 220) is substantially opposite from the second direction (FIG. 2, 222). The second portion (FIG. 5, 516) and the third portion (FIG. 5, 518) are proximate and separated by an insulator (FIG. 5, 520). |
