Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a multi-strand electrode comprising the steps of: a. providing at least one current collector having a collector length; b. providing a first strand; c. providing a peg assembly comprising: d. placing a first current collector between the two rows of pegs; e. wrapping the first strand around the pegs whereby the first strand wraps around a peg on a first row and then extends across the separation space to wrap around a second peg on a second row; f. placing a second current collector on-top of the wrapped first strand; and g. twisting the first and second current collectors together to form a twisted current collector, whereby said first strand is retained in the twisted current collectors and pulls off the flexible pegs as the current collectors are twisted together to produce a multi-strand electrode having a plurality of connected strands extending from the twisted current collector.
