The invention relates to a feed-through comprising a terminal for a metal-ion electrochemical accumulator, produced through an orifice emerging either side of a wall comprising two opposite faces, comprising:

Feed-through forming a terminal for a metal-ion electrochemical accumulator, integrating a gas relief valve, associated accumulator

A feedthrough that forms a terminal for a metal-ion electrochemical accumulator, provided through an aperture opening out on either side of a wall including two opposite faces. The includes feedthrough an electrically conductive male part, and a female part made of an aluminum-based alloy. A portion of the male part is tight-fitted into a blind hole of the female part.

Feedthrough forming a terminal for an electrochemical metal-ion battery and associated battery

The present invention relates to a metal-ion accumulator (A), comprising a stack of elementary electrochemical cells, each comprising a cathode (), an anode (), and a separator () impregnated with electrolyte intercalated between the anode and the cathode, each anode and cathode consisting of a substrate (S,S) formed from a metal foil comprising a central portion () supporting, on at least one of its main faces, a layer of active metal ion insertion material, the porosity of the layers of active material of the electrodes of one of the given polarities (anode or cathode) having at least two different values in the stack, the highest porosity being that of at least one electrode of said polarity, arranged between the center and the ends of the stack.

High-capacity stacked-electrode metal-ion accumulator capable of delivering high power

The present invention relates to a lithium-ion electrochemical accumulator comprising an electrode assembly, a casing arranged to sealably contain the electrode assembly, two current output terminals each connected to one or other of the anode(s) and cathode(s) of the assembly, one of the terminals, called the first terminal, passing through a wall of the casing and being electrically insulated therefrom. According to the invention, the first terminal comprises a first conductive part passing through the casing and comprising a portion at least one region of which is welded directly to the bottom.

The present invention relates to a bushing forming a terminal for a storage battery, made through an opening connecting to either side of a wall comprising two opposing surfaces, which comprises: two electrically insulating washers, each comprising a bearing portion resting by the surface thereof under pressure against one of the surfaces of the wall and a guiding portion projecting from the bearing portion and resting under pressure against the edge of the opening; two electrically conductive parts, in which a male part is adjusted clamped inside the female part, each one of the parts comprising a bearing portion resting by the surface thereof under pressure against a bearing portion of the washers, the female part resting by the surface thereof under pressure against the guiding portions of the washers. The material(s) of the parts is/are fitted, and the section(s) thereof is/are sized so as to enable the flow of an electric current with a value of no less than 100 A.

Bushing forming a terminal for a lithium storage battery and related storage battery

An electrochemical accumulator including: at least one electrochemical cell made of at least one cathode and one anode and, on either side of an electrolyte, two current collectors, one of which is connected to the anode and the other to the cathode; a housing made of aluminium alloy arranged such as to sealingly contain the electrochemical cell(s); two current-output terminals, one of which is welded to a wall of the housing, the output terminal welded to the housing being made of an aluminium alloy having a magnesium content (Mg) that is no lower than 0.01% and no higher than 4%, and a copper content that is no lower than 0.05% and no higher than 0.3%, the aluminium alloy of the output terminal welded to the housing having a metallurgical state which grants same a breaking strength (Rm) of no less than 60 MPa.

Electrochemical accumulator with housing and output terminal made of aluminium alloy

A method for producing an electrochemical bundle of a lithium battery, such as an Li-ion battery, with a view to electrically connecting same to the output terminals of the battery, wherein it includes the combination of two steps of folding an electrochemical bundle of a lithium battery which are carried out separately, i.e. a radial folding with plastic deformation and an axial compacting, which make it possible to obtain two separate areas on at least one, and preferably both, of the lateral ends of the bundle. The invention also concerns a method for producing an electrical connection part between the electrochemical bundle and one of the output terminals of the battery, and an associated current collector.
