Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A battery comprising:
a housing comprising a first terminal disposed on a first side of the housing and a second terminal disposed on the first side of the housing, wherein the housing is characterized by a second side opposite the first side and a third side extending between the first side and the second side; and
an electrode stack positioned within the housing, the electrode stack comprising:
a first current collector characterized by a first side facing the first side of the housing, a second side opposite the first side, a third side extending between the first side and the second side, and a fourth side opposite the third side, wherein the first current collector defines a first current collector tab along the first side of the first current collector, the first current collector tab extending towards the first side of the housing, wherein the first current collector tab is electrically coupled with the first terminal, and
a second current collector characterized by a first side facing the first side of the housing, a second side opposite the first side, a third side extending between the first side and the second side, and a fourth side opposite the third side, wherein the second current collector defines a second current collector tab along the third side of the second current collector, wherein the third side of the second current collector is perpendicular to the first side of the first current collector, wherein the second current collector tab is electrically coupled with the second terminal, wherein at least one of:
the first current collector defines a plurality of first current collector tabs distributed along the first side of the first current collector; or
the second current collector defines a plurality of second current collector tabs distributed along the third side of the side current collector.
