Abstract:
1. A capacitor, which comprises: a) a casing comprising first and second casing members secured to each other; b) a first anode of anode active material housed within the casing; c) a second anode of anode active material housed within the casing, wherein the first anode is electrically connected to the second anode by a first anode wire having opposite ends contacting the respective first and second anodes; d) a feedthrough wire extending outside the casing and electrically isolated there from by a glass-to-metal seal, wherein the feedthrough wire is electrically connected to the first anode wire as the positive terminal for the capacitor; e) a cathode comprising cathode active material supported by and in contact with a first face wall of the first casing member and a second face wall of the second casing member; f) a first cathode current collector disposed between the first and second anodes and having opposed first and second major faces provided with cathode active material thereon, wherein the cathode current collector includes a tab that is physically connected to a ferrule of the glass-to-metal seal and the glass-to-metal seal is electrically connected to the casing as the negative terminal for the capacitor; and g) an electrolyte contacting the cathode and the first and second anodes.
