An end cap assembly for an electrochemical cell such as an alkaline cell is disclosed. The end cap assembly is inserted into the open end of a cylindrical housing for the cell in order to seal the housing. The end cap assembly comprises a metal support disk and underlying insulating sealing disk. The insulating sealing disk has a central hub and radial arm extending therefrom. The insulating sealing disk has a thinned portion within the radial arm. The thinned portion forms a rupturable membrane, which can rupture when gas pressure within the cell rises. The rupturable membrane is inclined so that it has a high point which is closer to the cell's central longitudinal axis than the membrane's low point, when the cell is viewed with the end cap assembly on top. The inclined membrane provides more space between the insulating disk and the metal support disk into which the membrane can rupture.
