A battery plate having a substrate with opposing surfaces and one or more nonplanar structures and one or more active materials disposed on at least one of the opposing surfaces; wherein the battery plate includes one or more of: i) one or more projections disposed within but do not extend beyond the active material; ii) one or more projections which project beyond the active material and substantially free of the active material or dust formed from the active material; and/or iii) a frame about the periphery of the substrate which projects beyond the active material and is substantially free of the active material or dust formed from the active material; and wherein the battery plate is adapted to form part of one or more electrochemical cells in a battery assembly.

Battery plates useful in bipolar battery assemblies and methods of preparation

A method for forming a battery assembly including: a) stacking a plurality of battery plates to form a plurality of electrochemical cells, and b) welding about an exterior periphery of the plurality of battery plates to form one or more integrated edge seals such that one or more individual battery plates are bonded to one or more adjacent battery plates. The one or more individual battery plates may include one or more projections extending from the exterior periphery of the individual battery plate toward the adjacent one or more battery plates; and wherein upon stacking, the one or more projections of the one or more individual battery plates overlap about an exterior of the one or more adjacent battery plates. The integrated edge seal may be formed by one or more projections bonding to the one or more adjacent battery plates.
