Abstract
A lithium battery comprising a plurality of electrochemical cells assembled together and a rigid casing forming an enclosure. The plurality of electrochemical cells includes: at least one first electrochemical cell, at least one second electrochemical cell; and at least one third electrochemical cell disposed between the at least one first electrochemical cell and the at least one second electrochemical cell. The at least one first electrochemical cell is disposed between a first wall of the casing and the at least one third electrochemical cell. The at least one second electrochemical cell is disposed between a second wall of the casing and the at least one third electrochemical cell. The first and second walls provide a heat sink path to dissipate excess heat generated by the plurality of electrochemical cells. The at least one first and second electrochemical cells are more capacitive than the at least one third electrochemical cell.
