Abstract
A bipolar battery including a) one or more stacks of battery plates assembled into electrochemical cells having i) one or more bipolar plates and ii) a first and second monopolar plate; b) a liquid electrolyte disposed between each pair of battery plates, wherein the liquid electrolyte functions with an anode and cathode pair to form an electrochemical cell; c) a separator located between the anode and the cathode of the electrochemical cell; and d) a membrane comprising a polymeric material disposed about an entire periphery of edges of the one or more stacks of battery plates so as to form a seal about the periphery of the edge of the battery plates, and wherein the seal prevents the liquid electrolyte from flowing outside of the one or more stacks of battery plates.
