Patent ID: 7785158

Claim:
An electrode connection platform, comprising: an electrically conductive member; an opening extending through a middle section of said electrically conductive member, said opening being shaped to receive a threaded electrode of a battery; a first connection device configured to attach a first set of electrical wires in electrical communication with said electrically conductive member; and a second connection device configured to attach a second set of electrical wires in electrical communication with said electrically conductive member; wherein said first and second set of electrical wires extend in non-parallel relation to said electrode; wherein said electrode extends axially along an axial direction perpendicular to the electrically conductive member; said first connection device comprises a first plurality of threaded holes extending axially through a first planar surface of said electrode connection platform; said second connection device comprises a second plurality of threaded holes extending axially through a second planar surface of said electrode connection platform; and wherein the opening that received the electrode and the electrode are parallel with the threaded holes of the first and second connection devices.
