Lithium ion battery and container

摘要

Described is a substantially sealed lightweight lithium ion battery and container comprising:a metallic housing having front and back segments, which segments are substantially equal in length and width and a pair of sides having a length substantially equal to the length of the front and back segments;a lithium ion battery comprised of a stack of lithium ion electrodes sized to fit snuggly within the housing which battery has bipolar electrodes with an electrolyte there between;a housing bottom member sized to snuggly fit the cathode terminal of the lithium electrode stack therein;a housing top member sized to snuggly fit the anode terminal of the lithium stack therein; andan insulated gasket spaced between the anode and the metallic housing electrically separating the anode from the housing.
