Abstract
A lithium ion battery (200) has at least two carbon foam electrodes (54, 56). Each of the electrodes (54, 56) is fitted with a plate (60, 62 respectively) formed from an electrically conductive material. The plate (60, 62) has an underside which is formed so as to be attached to one end of the carbon foam electrode (54, 56). The plate (60, 62) may be fixed to the electrode by crimping or a similar deforming process or may be fitted thereto by an electrically conductive adhesive.
Claims10
A lithium battery comprising:
- a battery case;
- at least one carbon foam electrode having a top end, a first side and a second side;
- an electrically conductive plate fitted to said top end of said at least one carbon foam electrode, said plate having a top and a first side and a second side extending from said top, said first side extending at least partially along said first side of said carbon foam electrode and said second side extending at least partially along said second side of said electrode.
