Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a capacitor, comprising: positioning a first substantially planar electrode including material of the first substantially planar electrode defining a first aperture into a capacitor stack in alignment with and on top of a second substantially planar electrode such that the first aperture is on top of a first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode and at least partially overlays the first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode, with the first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode extending across the first aperture to form a connection surface including the material of the first substantially planar electrode defining the first aperture and the first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode; joining, along the connection surface, the first substantially planar electrode and the second substantially planar electrode, the joining proximal the material of the first substantially planar electrode defining the first aperture and the first non-aperture portion of the second substantially planar electrode; disposing the capacitor stack into a capacitor case including terminals; connecting the terminals to the capacitor stack; filling the capacitor case with electrolyte; and sealing the capacitor case with a seal which resists a flow of the electrolyte.
