A sachet includes a first wing made of a flexible material and having a first perimeter region circumscribing a first central region; a second wing made of the flexible material; a hinge connecting the first and second wings along a common boundary; an adhesive material applied to the perimeter region on the first wing; a first electrically conducting electrode formed on the first wing within the central region of the perimeter region; a second electrically conducting electrode formed on the second wing in a region that is opposed to and in alignment with the first contact area on the first wing; an array of contact pads formed on at least one of the first and second wings; first and second conducting traces electrically connecting first and second groups of one or more contact pads among the array of contact pads to the first and second electrodes, respectively.

Packets for testing charge storage devices

A battery assembly including: a plurality of prismatic battery cells; first and second fluid manifolds; and a plurality of corrugated flow plates interleaved with the plurality of battery cells, each the flow plates extending from the first manifold to the second manifold and providing an array of flow channels for carrying fluid from the first manifold to the second manifold, wherein each plate of the plurality of corrugated flow plates is an extruded plastic structure comprising first and second fluid impermeable sheets and a plurality of parallel ribs between and connecting the first and second sheets, said plurality of ribs forming the array of flow channels.

Multi-cell battery assembly

A test instrument for use with a sample having a plurality of electrically conducting contact pads, the instrument including: a controllable, variable force linear actuator; a probe assembly operated by the linear actuator, the probe assembly having a probe head at one end with a surface for contacting the sample; a movable contactor assembly including a plurality of contacts for electrically contacting the plurality of contact pads on the sample; a housing on which the linear actuator and contactor assembly are mounted, the housing having an identified area for holding the sample during testing; a position sensor assembly for measuring changes in the position of the probe; and a sensor for measuring a force applied to the sample by the probe head.

Test instrument for testing charge storage devices

Operating a battery assembly that includes one or more rechargeable battery cells includes: monitoring one or more operational parameters of the battery cells; and dynamically controlling pressure applied to the one or more battery cells based at least in part on one or more of the monitored operational parameters.
