    Abstract: A battery comprising a series of cells stacked one upon the other is disclosed wherein the cells are connected by intercell connectors which assure good electrical contact between cells and proper alignment of each cell with respect to the next. The intercell connector comprises a flat section with a series of radial extensions or ears projecting beyond the edge of the flat section. In assembly the flat section is welded to one electrode of one cell and another cell is then stacked on top with the ears of the interconnector being bent upwards and welded to the other cell to interconnect the cells and accurately align them with respect to each other.

    Abstract: An emergency power supply is described comprising a switch and a low-level dropout circuit. The switch comprises a power transistor which provides power to the load from the battery and is driven by an amplifier. The low-level dropout supply circuit is a complementary bistable multivibrator which turns the switch off in going from a ''''conductive'''' state to a ''''nonconductive'''' state when the battery voltage drops to a predetermined level. There is also provided a delay-on timer which keeps the emergency lamp on for a selected period of time after external power restoration. In addition, a solid-state charger is provided to maintain a properly charged battery.

    Abstract: An electrochemical cell is disclosed having a resistive element interposed between a cell electrode and its corresponding terminal. The resistive element acts as a safety resistor and is a high resistivity material which has a high temperature coefficient of resistance. The element significantly lessens the high flash amperage current which is characteristic of some electrochemical cells, such as nickel-cadmium cells. The resistance of the element preferably has a value as determined in accordance with the equation:

    WHERE Ra is the ohmic value of the element; E is the open circuit voltage of the cell; Ii is the initial flash current of the cell in the absence of the element; and Ip is the flash current of the cell with the element present in the cell.
