Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a battery including an anode and a cathode. The anode may include an anode current collector and anode active material disposed on the anode current collector, the anode active material forming an anode body and an anode neck extending from an anode surface of the anode body. Moreover, the anode current collector may include an anode current collector tab extending away from the anode neck. The cathode may include a cathode active material disposed on a portion of a cathode current collector, the cathode active material forming a cathode body and a cathode neck extending from a cathode surface of the cathode body. The cathode neck may overlap with the anode neck.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a container configured to enclose a battery cell. The container comprises a sealed region extending from a first side wall of the container and a terrace region extending from a second side wall of the container. The sealed region and the terrace region intersect in a sealed corner region located proximate to a first corner of the container. The sealed corner region is formed at an angle such that the sealed region is configured to be folded upwards along a fold line and attached to the first side wall of the container without the fold line extending into the terrace region. The first corner of the container is shaped such that the sealed region extends at least a threshold distance from the first side wall along an entire length of the sealed region.
