Abstract
A feed through arrangement for a battery cell which transfers torque that is applied to the terminal into a plurality of smaller compression forces. The arrangement permits a high torque on the terminal without damaging the seals of the feed throughs. Preventing damage to the seals increases the durability and accordingly the life of the battery. The seals of the present invention are also hermetic to moisture, have excellent thermal-shock properties and have a very low impedance, volume and weight.
