Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a two or more cell elements stacked internally to create a single cell with a non-uniform height. A first bus bar may electrically couple to a first side or first end of the cell elements in order to connect the terminals of the battery elements. A second bus bar may electrically couple to a second side or second end of the cell elements in order to connect the terminals of the battery elements.

An apparatus comprising:
- a first cell element;
- a second cell element, the second cell element to be stacked on a portion of the first cell element, the first cell element and the second cell element to form a non-uniform battery cell;
- a first bus bar to electrically couple to a first end of the first cell element and to electrically couple to a first end of the second cell element;
- and
- a second bus bar to electrically couple to a second end of the first cell element and to electrically couple to a second end of the second cell element.

An apparatus comprising:
- a non-uniform battery cell having a first part and a second part, the second part of the non-uniform battery cell having a height greater than the first part of the non-uniform battery cell;
- a first bus bar to electrically couple to a first end of the first part of the non-uniform battery cell and to electrically couple to a first end of the second part of the non-uniform battery cell;
- and
- a second bus bar to electrically couple to a second end of the first part of the non-uniform battery cell and to electrically couple to a second end of the second part of the non-uniform battery cell.
