Abstract
A fastener system for tab bussing for the multicell batteries and the apparatus to assist this system are described. The holding device is used to hold the tab bussing structure together. The holding device can be a bolt or a rivet. It minimizes the electrical resistance of the multicell battery, allows rework and achieves high energy efficiency and small dimensions for the multicell lithium-polymer batteries.
