A flat-folded, multi-plate electrode assembly is described. The electrode assembly consists of anode and cathode electrodes in the form of continuous strips having extension plates which are first folded against their connection electrode portions to provide anode and cathode plate pairs. The anode and the cathode are then operatively associated with each other such that at least a portion of the anode strip is interleaved between corresponding ones of the cathode plate pairs and at least a portion of the cathode strip is interleaved between corresponding ones of the anode plate pairs. The assembly is then "Z" folded into the desired electrode stack. The extension plates of both electrodes insure electrode overlap in each and every fold, thereby optimizing electrode output. This design has the advantage of permitting the electrodes to be enlarged due to the electrode configuration and header connection, eliminates multiple components and insures matched electrode overlap.
