Abstract
An insulator for use in a monopolar cell battery is provided in which the battery includes a first electrode in contact with the case and a second electrode which is not in contact with case. The insulator is a plate which is formed from a higher melting point salt which is provided adjacent the edges of the second electrode. The plate insulates the second electrode from the case. The salt used for the insulator has a melting point that is greater than the operating temperature of the battery.
