Battery cell structure

Claim 1

A STRUCTURE FOR A SOLID ELECTROLYTE BATTERY CELL COMPRISING A TUBULAR ANODE WHICH IS RELATIVELY LONG IN COMPARISON TO ITS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DIAMETERS, CATHODE MATERIAL DISPOSED WITHIN THE TUBULAR ANODE, A SEALING PLUG MADE OF SUBSTANTIALLY INERT MATERIAL DISPOSED WITHIN EACH OPEN END OF SAID TUBULAR ANODE FOR CONFINING SAID CATHODE MATERIAL WITHIN SAID TUBE, AN ELONGATED CONDUCTIVE LEAD EXTENDING THROUGH BOTH OF SAID SEALING PLUGS INTO CONTACT WITH SAID CATHODE MATERIAL SUBSTANTIALLY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF SAID TUBULAR ANODE, SAID TUBULAR ANODE BEING MADE OF A MATERIAL WHICH IS SUFFICIENTLY DUCTILE TO IMPART ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY TO ITS RELATIVELY LONG LENGTH TO PERMIT SAID ANODE TO BE WRAPPED IN A COMPACT FORM, AND SAID TUBULAR ANODE BEING WRAPPED IN A COMPACT CONFIGURATION TO MINIMIZE THE SPACE OCCUPIED BY SAID SOLID ELECTROLYTE BATTERY CELL.
