Abstract

A button cell includes a housing, the housing including a cell cup, the cell cup having a flat bottom area, a cell cup casing; an insulator; and an electrode-separator assembly winding disposed within the housing, the electrode-separator assembly winding including a multi-layer assembly that is wound in a spiral shape about an axis, the multi-layer assembly including a positive electrode formed from a first metallic film or mesh coated with a first electrode material, a negative electrode formed from a second metallic film or mesh coated with a second electrode material, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The first metallic film or mesh is bent such that at least a portion extends out of the electrode-separator assembly winding and wherein at least a first part of the portion is not covered with the first electrode material.
