Implantable medical device including eddy current reducing battery

A method of making an implantable medical device battery comprising:

• stacking a first electrode with a second electrode, wherein the second electrode is separate from the first electrode, the second electrode including:
• a first layer formed of a first material having a first continuous surface and a second continuous surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first material is a conductive material;
• and
• a second layer positioned on the first surface of the first layer, the second layer formed of a second material different from the first material, wherein the second material is lithium, wherein the second layer includes a first portion separated from a second portion by a high resistance section, the high resistance section having a greater resistance compared to the first and second portions of the second layer to reduce a radial current loop size in the second electrode.
