    Abstract: A thin, flat, multicell battery comprising a multiplicity of electrically conductive layers arranged in cooperative electrical association with one another to provide a plurality of cells. The layers include intercell connectors which cooperate together to form sealed enclosures for each cell, and to form electrical connections to connect the cells in series. The battery has a minimized internal resistance, a capability for high discharge rates particularly suitable for the production of pulses of current, and a discharge efficiency far superior to conventional flat cell batteries at current densities exceeding 100 milliamperes per square inch of anode. These features are achieved by the adherence and electrical bonding one to the other of the confronting faces of the several conducting layers of the battery. The preferred form of the battery is discussed in terms of the LeClanche system.

    Abstract: Duplex electrodes are constructed by placing intermittent deposits of positive and negative electrodes on opposite sides of a continuous metal carrier strip having two nonreactive metal sides. In another embodiment, duplex electrodes are constructed by placing intermittent deposits of positive electrodes on the only nonreactive side of the bimetal carrier strip, with the reactive side of the bimetal strip functioning as the negative electrode in the duplex electrode. The duplex electrodes are assembled into multicell batteries. The assembly preferably occurs while the duplex electrodes are structurally and electrically connected by the continuous metal carrier strip; the carrier strip is then subsequently cut between duplex electrodes to obtain structurally and electrically unconnected batteries. Alternatively, the carrier strip may be cut between duplex electrodes before those electrodes are assembled into multicell batteries.
