<p>A segmented nickel hydrogen battery system includes a hydrogen storage segment (130) and a battery segment (120) in fluid communication with the storage segment. The battery segment includes a plurality of electrochemical cells each having a current collector plate (104) and a plastic seal component (104) provided about the peripheral edge of the collector plate. The plastic seal component may be secured to the collector plate using a variety of methods, but is preferably injection-molded about the collector plate edge. The collector plate/seal segment subassemblies may then be stacked and the seal components bonded together to form an integral seal. The electrodes and separator are placed between the collector plates before bonding. Preferably, the electrodes and separator are formed as a bipolar cell construction.</p> |
