Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a positive electrode; a negative electrode; a separator, the positive electrode and the negative electrode being separated by the separator; a first conductor configured to transmit a first electrical current from the positive electrode; a second conductor configured to transmit a second electrical current from the negative electrode, a direction of the first electrical current transmitted through the first conductor being substantially opposite to a direction of the second electrical current transmitted through the second conductor, a magnitude of the first electrical current being substantially equal to a magnitude of the second electrical current, and the first and second conductors being proximate to one another; a case, wherein the positive and negative electrodes are located inside the case, and wherein at least a portion of the first and second conductors are located outside the case; a positive feedthrough and a negative feedthrough, the positive feedthrough and the negative feedthrough being spaced apart from one another by a separation distance, wherein a first portion of one of the first and second conductors is located inside the case along the separation distance, and a second portion of the one of the first and second conductors is located outside the case along the separation distance, wherein the first portion is parallel to the second portion and the first or second electrical current transmitted through the first portion is transmitted in an opposite direction to the first or second current transmitted through the second portion.
