Claim 17:
18. 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 first terminal is electrically isolated from the housing; and
an electrode stack positioned within the housing, the electrode stack comprising:
an anode current collector characterized by a first side facing the first side of the housing, a second side opposite the first side, and a third side extending between the first side and the second side, wherein the anode current collector defines an anode tab along the first side of the anode current collector, wherein the anode tab extends from the anode current collector to a first distal end in a first direction towards the first side of the housing, and wherein the anode tab is electrically coupled with the first terminal, and
a cathode current collector characterized by a first side facing the first side of the housing, a second side opposite the first side, and a third side extending between the first side and the second side, wherein the cathode current collector defines a cathode tab along the third side of the cathode current collector, and wherein the cathode tab is electrically coupled with a busbar disposed within the housing, wherein the cathode tab extends from the cathode current collector to a second distal end in a second direction that is normal to the first direction, wherein at least one of:
the anode current collector defines a plurality of anode tabs distributed along the first side of the anode current collector; or
the cathode current collector defines a plurality of cathode tabs distributed along the third side of the cathode current collector.
