Systems and methods are described for combining two or more thin-film electronic devices use a hot-press method. Two or more thin-film batteries, electrochromic devices, and/or a fuel cells may be combined. A thin-film conductive substrate is positioned between the thin-film electronic device. Sufficient heat is applied to the thin film conductive substrate and/or the connecting surface of the one or more devices to cause a material, such as lithium, to flow and bind the thin-film electronic devices together.
