Method of manufacturing at least one electrode for a battery with a discontinuous ink coating, said electrode comprising a metal foil coated with a plurality of ink zones at a spacing from each other along a longitudinal direction of the electrode on at least one of its two opposite surfaces, the method comprising the following steps: - make ink zones on a first longitudinal segment of a metallic support wider than the foil of the electrode to be manufactured, and make at least one additional ink zone on at least one second longitudinal segment of the support offset from the first segment along a lateral direction of the support, the assembly composed of the ink zones of the first segment being laterally spaced from the assembly formed by each additional ink zone of at least one second segment directly consecutive to it along the lateral direction, in order to define a non-zero lateral spacing (El) between these assemblies of ink zones (16, 32), the ink zones and each additional ink zone jointly forming a support coating on one of the two opposite faces of the support, such that at least one additional ink zone of a second segment laterally faces each recessed zone located between two directly consecutive ink zones of the first segment; - calendering of the metallic support provided with its coating (16, 32), by movement between the calendering rolls along a longitudinal direction of the support orthogonal to its lateral direction, the calendering roll located on the side of the support coating (16, 32) being permanently in contact with this coating during calendering; and - separation of the segments (26a, 26b) so as to obtain the electrode through the first segment, and at least one other electrode through at least one of the second segments. - make ink zones on a first longitudinal segment of a metallic support wider than the foil of the electrode to be manufactured, and make at least one additional ink zone on at least one second longitudinal segment of the support offset from the first segment along a lateral direction of the support, the assembly composed of the ink zones of the first segment being laterally spaced from the assembly formed by each additional ink zone of at least one second segment directly consecutive to it along the lateral direction, in order to define a non-zero lateral spacing (El) between these assemblies of ink zones (16, 32), the ink zones and each additional ink zone jointly forming a support coating on one of the two opposite faces of the support, such that at least one additional ink zone of a second segment laterally faces each recessed zone located between two directly consecutive ink zones of the first segment; - calendering of the metallic support provided with its coating (16, 32), by movement between the calendering rolls along a longitudinal direction of the support orthogonal to its lateral direction, the calendering roll located on the side of the support coating (16, 32) being permanently in contact with this coating during calendering; and - separation of the segments (26a, 26b) so as to obtain the electrode through the first segment, and at least one other electrode through at least one of the second segments.
