Abstract
An electric energy storage device includes a plurality of electrical energy cells. Each of the cells has an anode plate, a cathode plate, and electrolyte material. Current collectors are provided between the cells to conduct electrical current between the cells. The current collectors optionally include a seal that prevents electrolyte flow between the cells while permitting flow of vapor between the cells. The cells and current collectors may be contained in a common pressure vessel without separate pressure vessels being provided for each of the cells.
