Claim Text:
1. An electrochemical cell, which comprises: a) an anode comprising an anode active material contacted to at least one of opposed major sides of an anode current collector to provide at least one anode plate having an anode plate perimeter, wherein an anode current collector lead extends outwardly past the anode plate perimeter; b) a cathode comprising a cathode active material contacted to at least one of opposed major sides of a cathode current collector to provide at least one cathode plate having a cathode plate perimeter, wherein a cathode current collector lead extends outwardly past the cathode plate perimeter; c) a casing comprising a sidewall extending to an opening; d) a separator disposed intermediate the anode active material of the at least one anode plate facing the cathode active material of the at least one cathode plate; e) an adhesive membrane having opposed first and second adhesive sides, wherein the first adhesive side is positioned in direct contact with the anode plate or the cathode plate and the second adhesive side is positioned in direct contact with the anode lead or the cathode lead of an immediately adjacent other of the anode plate or the cathode plate not in direct contact with the first adhesive side; f) a lid closing the opening of the casing; and g) an electrolyte in the casing to activate the anode and cathode.
