Abstract
An energy storage cell includes a vessel having a wall with a pair of oppositely disposed apertures therethrough, and an electrochemical cell, such as a nickel-hydrogen cell, within the vessel interior. A central core extends through the oppositely disposed apertures and performs all basic electrical, compressive support, and thermal removal functions for the energy storage cell. The central core includes electrical interconnects for the plate sets of the electrochemical cell, axial compression loading supports for the plate sets, and a heat pipe or other structure for removing heat from the interior of the vessel.
