Battery case

An electrochemical cell case, comprising:

• (a) a body having a plurality of compartments, each compartment including a sidewall and a cavity, said cavity at least partially defined by said sidewall and being adapted for receiving an electrochemical cell and having a first and second end, said compartments being sealed from one another and each compartment having a pressure relief valve;
• (b) a first cover covering said first end of said cavities;
• (c) a second cover covering said second end of said cavities;
• and
• (d) a first and second terminal hole extending into each said cavity, wherein no more than one of said terminal holes is in said first cover and wherein no more than one of said terminal holes is in said second cover.

An electrochemical cell case, comprising:

• (a) a body having a plurality of cavities, each of said cavities being adapted to receive an electrochemical cell and being sealed from one another, and each cavity having a pressure relief valve and a first and second end;
• (b) a first cover to cover said first end;
• (c) a second cover to cover said second end;
• and
• (d) a cap attached to one of said first and second cover, said cap being shaped to physically connect with an electrical device and allowing for electrical communication between said electrochemical cells and said electrical device.

A battery, comprising:

• (a) a plurality of electrochemical cells;
