Abstract:
1. A battery cell, comprising: a case having an exterior surface; an anodic material, a cathodic material, and an electrolyte contained in the case; a positive terminal and a negative terminal; a first flat wire applied to the exterior surface of the case, where one end of the first flat wire is in electrical contact with the positive terminal, and the other end of the first flat wire terminates near an edge of the case so as to enable connection to a first lead wire; a second flat wire applied to the exterior surface of the case, where one end of the second flat wire is in electrical contact with the negative terminal, and the other end of the second flat wire terminates near the edge of the case so as to enable connection to a second lead wire; and a third flat wire applied to the exterior surface of the case, where the third flat wire has a resistance that is effective for dissipating excess charge energy from the battery cell, one end of the third flat wire is in electrical contact with either the positive terminal or the negative terminal, and the other end of the third flat wire terminates near the edge of the case so as to enable connection to a third lead wire.
