    Abstract: An improved method of making a battery uses a sheet of one material for the anode, a sheet of a second material for the cathode, and a sheet of separator material between them to form a laminate of the three sheets. To make this laminate into a form factor suitable for a small thin battery, the anode sheet and cathode sheet may have slots to enable each sheet to be easily folded along the slot lines to create a concertina configuration.

    Abstract: A new battery cell structure uses a reduced stack pressure force to be used and applied over a much smaller area of the cells by using the sides of the cell instead of the top and bottom of the cell. To reduce the amount of force required to compress a cell, an edge-wise construction can be used instead of the sheet construction. Instead of stack pressure having to be applied to the top and bottom of the cell, it is now applied across the edges. An edge-on design is used to form strips, which allows for flat sides of a battery body.

    Abstract: A battery cell is formed to efficiently use unoccupied space in an electronic device. The battery cell may be formed by disposing an electrically insulating material on at least a first surface of a circuit board having components to create an electrical barrier and disposing a battery cell on the electrically insulating material. In some embodiments, a portion of the battery cell is configured to be partially disposed between components of the circuit board components, thus utilizing previously unoccupied space in the electronic device to store energy.

    Abstract: An electronic device, including a housing that is metal or lined with an electrically conductive material, at least one electrical component, and a battery cell positioned in a cavity in the outer housing, the battery cell integrated into the electronic device. The battery cell includes a first current collector and an active cell core. The first current collector is the electrically conductive material of the outer housing of the electronic device and connects to the at least one electrical component. The active cell core includes a first active material in adjacent facing relation to and electrically coupled to the first current collector, a second active material; a separator positioned between the first active material and the second active material; and a second current collector electrically coupled with the second active material, wherein the second current collector connects to the at least one electrical component.

    Abstract: A system for increasing the life of a battery cell by limiting the charging of the battery to less than full charge in response to a predicted electricity draw of a connected device being less than the full capacity of the battery before a predicted recharge will occur. The current draw of the connected device may be affected by the amount of time before a next recharge and environmental factors. The system may further comprise one or more sensors to gather data pertaining to environmental conditions that may be used in the calculation of a charge termination value. The charge termination value is an amount of charge to power the device for a duration of time at least until a predicted recharge begins.
