Patent ID: 8574754

Claim:
A flexible battery including at least one electrochemical cell for generating an electrical current, said battery including: a first substrate; a second substrate; a cathode collector layer provided on said first substrate; a plurality of cathode layers provided on said cathode collector layer; an electrically-neutral dielectric layer provided on said cathode collector layer between at least an adjacent two of the plurality of cathode layers; an anode layer provided on said dielectric layer, said anode layer being electrically insulated from said cathode collector layer by said dielectric layer; an electrolyte layer comprising a liquid electrolyte in contact with said plurality of cathode layers and said anode layer; and wherein said first substrate is connected and sealed to said second substrate to form an inner space containing said electrolyte, and also containing at least a major portion of said plurality of cathode layers and at least a major portion of said anode layer within said inner space.
