Abstract
Abstract A battery comprising a series of cells stacked one upon the other is disclosed wherein the cells are connected by intercell connectors which assure good electrical contact between cells and proper alignment of each cell with respect to the next. The intercell connector comprises a flat section with a series of radial extensions or ears projecting beyond the edge of the flat section. In assembly the flat section is welded to one electrode of one cell and another cell is then stacked on top with the ears of the interconnector being bent upwards and welded to the other cell to interconnect the cells and accurately align them with respect to each other.
