EMBEDDED ELECTRODE CONFORMATIONS FOR BALANCED ENERGY, POWER, AND COST IN AN ALKALINE CELL

摘要

A battery cell, such as a cylindrical or prismatic alkaline cell, is disclosed having significantly improved capacity utilization at mid-range power levels of discharge by implementing a curvilinear-like inner electrode configuration that provides moderated surface area between the inner and outer electrodes as compared to high-power discharge applications utilizing a densely corrugated geometry for the inner electrode.
