Abstract
An electric power storage cell including several electrochemical elements connected in series and/or in parallel, arranged inside a sealed casing. The casing electrically connects the electrochemical elements to a power connecting device outside the casing. The electrical connection is configured so that the casing can be traversed without affecting adversely the tightness thereof and without transmitting stresses to the casing. The storage cell has applications in the field of lithium polymer technologies with high power storage assemblies.
Claims14
A cell for the storage of electrical energy that includes several electrochemical elements connected in series and/or in parallel and placed inside a sealing envelope and electrical link means for electrically linking said electrochemical elements inside the envelope, where said envelope includes electrical connecting means for electrically connecting the electrochemical elements to a power connecting device outside of the envelope, said electrical connecting means including two electrical link terminals placed in two passages passing through the envelope, wherein the electrical connecting means include means that pass through said envelope without affecting sealing of the envelope and without transmitting thereto support stresses, the sealing envelope being flexible and including a metal layer forming a waterproof barrier, wherein the electrical link means include two connecting plates respectively associated with the electrical link terminals, said terminals, each including an electrical link stud and a pin, where each pin together with means to prevent rotation of the pin, is used to secure one of the two connecting plates respectively to the two electrical link studs by means of clamping means, where said clamping means also effects the sealing by clamping two sealing rings, each inserted between a shoulder on a stud and the sealing envelope.
The cell according to claim, wherein the cell also includes, inside the sealing envelope, a top plate with two circular holes, each allowing passage of the body of a pin, said top plate including reception elements that mate with click-on fittings on a bottom plate, thus locking the connecting plates and the shoulders of the pins.
