Claim Text:
1. A multi-dimensional battery network comprising: a plurality of individual battery cells being electrically connected in a three-dimensional periodic network, the plurality of individual battery cells being electrically arranged in at least first through fourth rows, first through fourth columns, and first through fourth planar levels such that: the first through fourth battery cells in every column are electrically coupled in series resulting in first, second, and third nodes therebetween; the third and fourth battery cells of every column on the first planar level are electrically coupled at the third node to the third and fourth battery cells of the corresponding column on the second planar level, the first and second battery cells of every column on the second planar level are electrically coupled at the first node to the first and second battery cells of the corresponding column on the third planar level, the third and fourth battery cells of every column on the third planar level are electrically coupled at the third node to the third and fourth battery cells of the corresponding column on the fourth planar level, the second and third battery cells of the second column on every planar level are electrically coupled at the second node to the second and third battery cells of the third column of the corresponding planar level, and each of said plurality of individual battery cells being operable to output stored energy between a network positive terminal and a network ground terminal.
