In a cell having a housing 12 in the form of a canister having a floor and at least one side wall 14, and an open end opposite the floor, the open end being closed off by a closure 16, the closure having a periphery connected to the canister at its open end, one of the electrode terminals is an outer terminal 46 electronically continuous with the housing at the periphery of the closure, the housing forming a current collector for one of the electrodes, the other terminal is a central terminal 42 electronically continuous with a separate current collector 30, 32 for the other electrode, which separate current collector projects longitudinally inwardly from the cell closure, radially inwardly of the periphery of the closure, being electronically insulated from the housing and the outer terminal projects laterally outwardly from the periphery of the housing to overhang, at a position spaced longitudinally outwardly from the closure, a side wall of the housing. The cell can be arranged side-by-side with an identical cell with its outer terminal in contact with the central terminal of said identical cells. <IMAGE> |
