Abstract
A button cell includes a housing having a cell cup, the cell cup having a flat bottom area, a cell cup casing, and a bottom edge forming a transition between the flat bottom area and the cell cup casing, and a cell top, the cell top having a flat top area and a cell top casing. An electrode-separator assembly winding is 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 separator disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and a first output conductor. An insulator is disposed between an end face of the electrode-separator assembly winding and the first output conductor, wherein the first output conductor is welded to the first of the flat bottom area or the flat top area.
