Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: stacking a plurality of planar electrodes into a stack, in alignment; encapsulating the stack by pressing a first cup-shaped housing piece having first planar housing portion having a first portion of a first thickness proximal a first beveled edge and second portion having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, the second portion further away from the first beveled edge than is the first portion against a second beveled edge of a second cup-shaped housing piece having a second planar housing portion, with the first beveled edge of the first cup-shaped housing piece encouraged into coextensive alignment with the second beveled edge of the second cup-shaped housing piece such that the first planar portion is coplanar with the second planar housing portion; and joining the first beveled edge of the first cup-shaped housing piece to the second beveled edge of the second cup-shaped housing piece wherein a seam is formed at a joint of the first beveled edge and the second beveled edge, with the first planar housing portion and the second planar housing portion conforming to a stack form factor, with the first portion of the first planar housing spaced orthogonally further from the stack than is the second portion of the first planar housing such that the seam is farther away from the stack than the second portion of the first planar housing.
