Abstract
1. In a battery, at least two cells comprising a first cell and a second cell spaced from, but adjacent to, said first cell, each of said cells having an anode and a cathode and having a solid electrolyte between the opposing surfaces of said electrodes in each cell, one of said electrodes in each of said cells being formed of a thin rectangular metal blank folded along its transverse axis with the resulting rectangular portions thereof being in parallel planes and having the opposing side edges of those resulting rectangular portions of the folded member sealed together, whereby substantially flat rectangular receptacles each with an open end are formed, an extension from a side wall of said receptacle electrode of said first cell at its open end, said extension being of a size that is as large as possible consistent with fitting within the receptacle electrode of said second cell and being disposed in said receptacle electrode of said second cell, said receptacle electrode of said first cell and said extension being a single piece of metal, a second metal on the surfaces of said single piece of metal in one of said cells, whereby the resulting unit is an anode in one of said cells and a cathode in the other, said extension being deformed adjacent the end of the receptacle electrode with which it is integral and lying in a plane above and substantially parallel to the plane of the receptacle electrode with which it is integrally connected, whereby the cells of said battery form a stack of cells.
