Abstract
Example energy-storage implementations are provided. One example implementation involves a device that has a gap extending between a first side of the device and a second side opposite to the first side. The first side is to overlap a first cell and a second cell. The device includes a first contact to couple with the first cell and a second contact to couple with the second cell. The device also includes a flexure having a curved edge adjacent to the gap. The curved edge extends from a first end positioned to overlap with the first cell to a second end positioned to overlap with the second cell. A curvature of the curved edge flexibly changes in response to a motion of the first contact.
