Abstract
A battery having an electrode assembly located in a housing that efficiently utilizes the space available in many implantable medical devices is disclosed. The battery housing includes a cover and a case. The electrode assembly includes an anode tab and a cathode tab that are coupled to the cover and to a feedthrough pin disposed on the cover. The coupling of the anode tab to the cover defines an anode terminal while the coupling of the cathode tab to the feedthrough pin defines the cathode terminal. The anode and cathode tabs are aligned with the feedthrough pin and the connection point at the cover such that the tabs and feedthrough pin overlap each other along a common plane that is perpendicular to a plane that is defined by a major surface of the cover.
