Abstract
A cell terminal for connecting cells to form a vehicle battery pack has an inner end connected to a pole of one of the cells and an outer end spaced from the and connectable integrally to a pole of another of the cells. The inner and outer ends are generally planar and extend generally at a right angle to each other. An elastically deformable U-shaped bight web connected unitarily between the inner and outer ends permits relative movement of the cells without disconnection.

A cell terminal for connecting cells to form a vehicle battery pack, the cell terminal having:
- an inner end connected to a pole of one of the cells;
- an outer end spaced from the and connectable integrally to a pole of another of the cells, the inner and outer ends being generally planar and extending generally at a right angle to each other;
- and
- an elastically deformable U-shaped bight web connected unitarily between the inner and outer ends and permitting relative movement of the cells without disconnection.
The cell terminal defined in claim wherein the inner leg is coplanar with the inner end.
In combination with a vehicle battery pack having a plurality of adjacent cells, a cell terminal at each of the cells and having:
- an inner end connected to a pole of one of the cells;
- an outer end spaced from the and connectable integrally to a pole of another of the cells, the inner and outer ends being generally planar and extending generally at a right angle to each other;
- and
- an elastically deformable U-shaped bight web connected unitarily between the inner and outer ends and permitting relative movement of the cells without disconnection.
