Patent ID: 7722987

Claim:
A battery comprising: a housing assembled from multiple parts, of which a first housing part is implemented like a vessel having an initially open front side and a second housing part is a closure part, which closes the vessel-like housing part on its initially open front side, and having at least one first and at least one second electrode, each of which are formed by a planar material, of which the first electrode is electrically connected to an electrically conductive housing part of the battery, while the second electrode is connected to an electrically conductive contact which is electrically insulated from the remaining housing, wherein the battery comprises a molded part which is provided with at least one first recess for receiving and positioning at least one section of the first electrode or the first electrodes, and wherein the at least one first and at least one second electrodes each have a primary contour, and further wherein the at least one first and at least one second electrodes each have a recess which is open toward at least one of the edges of the primary contour in the top view of the particular electrode, and the at least one second electrode has a second electrode contact tab for contacting the electrically conductive contact, and the second electrode contact tab projects into the second electrode recess but does not project beyond the second electrode recess, and further wherein the electrically conductive contact projects into the recess of the second electrode for contacting the second electrode contact tab.
