An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator has a housing containing cardioverter-defibrillator circuitry and a capacitor assembly. The capacitor assembly includes at least two flat capacitors each having opposed major surfaces. Each capacitor has an anode contact at one major surface, and a cathode contact at the opposite major surface. The anode contact of one of the capacitors contacts the cathode contact of the other. Each capacitor contact may be a thin metal plate covering the entire surface of the capacitor, with each plate connected to corresponding interleaved cathode or anode flat sheets between the plates. A non-conductive perimeter may enclose the sheets and connect the plates to each other.
