Electrochemical cell presenting two current output terminals on a wall of its container

A method of manufacturing a cell comprising a container and two current output terminals made of copper situated on a single wall of the container, each of the current output terminals presenting a respective shoulder, and in which one of the terminals is secured by laser welding comprising the steps consisting in:

• placing the shoulder of the terminal on the wall;
• covering the shoulder in a washer suitable for transmitting laser energy;
• and
• laser welding the shoulder to the wall.

A method of manufacturing a cell comprising a container and two current output terminals made of copper and situated on a single wall of the container, each of the current output terminals presenting a shoulder, and in which one of the terminals is secured by crimping comprising the steps consisting in:

• forming an opening through the wall;
• placing at least one gasket around the opening in the wall;
• placing a bearing washer on the gasket;
• inserting the terminal through the washer and the at least one gasket;
• and
• securing the terminal by crimping with axial displacement of material.
