Abstract
The present invention relates to a battery unit () comprising six battery unit faces (). The battery unit () has a shape that can be inscribed in an imaginary cube having six cube faces such that each battery unit face () forms part of a corresponding imaginary cube face, wherein a first battery unit face pair of the battery unit () comprises a first battery unit face () and a second battery unit face (). The first battery unit face () comprises a first set of anode terminals () and a first set of cathode terminals (), the second battery unit face () comprising a second set of anode terminals () and a second set of cathode terminals (). The battery unit () is such that the second battery unit face () can assume two different positions relative to a first battery unit face () of a second battery unit () of the same type, wherein:—in a first position, each anode terminal of the second set of anode terminals () of the second battery unit face () contacts an anode terminal of the first set of anode terminals () of the first battery unit face () of the second battery unit () and each cathode terminal of the second set of cathode terminals () of the second battery unit face () contacts a cathode terminal of the first set of cathode terminals () of the first battery unit face () of the second battery unit (), and - in a second position, each anode terminal of the second set of anode terminals () of the second battery unit face () contacts a cathode terminal of the first set of cathode terminals () of the first battery unit face () of the second battery unit () and each cathode terminal of the second set of cathode terminals () of the second battery unit face () contacts an anode terminal of the first set of anode terminals () of the first battery unit face () of the second battery unit ().
