Abstract
An electrochemical pouch cell includes a pouch cell housing and an electrode assembly disposed in the housing. The housing is formed of a single blank that is progressively drawn to form first and second recesses in the sheet, where the first recess coincides with a portion of the second recess. The blank is then folded so that the recesses are aligned and open facing each other. The electrode assembly is disposed in the space defined within and between the recesses, and flange portions of the material surrounding the recesses are sealed together to form a sealed electrochemical cell in which one side of the cell is free of the flange. The progressive drawing process along with the configuration of the recesses allows the cell housing to have an increased depth relative to some conventional pouch cell housings.
