Abstract:
A battery comprising:(a) an electrode set comprising a separator between positive and negative electrodes;(b) an electrically non-conductive mounting cage, having a ring with one or more retaining arms extending over a thickness of the electrode set in which the retaining arms define one or more openings on a side of the mounting cage and hold the electrode set, receiving the electrode set for reducing the risk of shunt paths between the positive and negative electrodes; and(c) a battery container, comprising a lower part having a cup shape and a lower edge and an upper part having a lid shape and an upper edge, wherein the lower part is sealingly engaged with the upper part, which houses the mounting cage/electrode set assembly,in which one electrode of the electrode set is in conductive contact with the upper part.
