Abstract
The present invention provides a terminal assembly, and storage batteries comprising a terminal assembly, wherein the terminal assembly comprises a conductive cup-shaped member comprising a terminal wall in electric communication with a terminal of the electrochemical cell when the terminal wall is in contact with the terminal; a sidewall; and a rim separated from the terminal wall by the sidewall; and a bipolar endplate having first and second surfaces parallel with the terminal wall and joining to the rim at the first surface, the joining enabling bi-directional uniform current flow through the cup-shaped member between the terminal and the endplate when the terminal wall is in contact with the terminal, the endplate having an electrochemically active region comprising a first surface area enclosed by the rim and a remaining second surface area outside an outer periphery of the rim, the first and second surface areas being substantially equal.
