Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to a set of battery tabs. The battery tabs include a first tab forming an elongated member, a second tab forming an elongated member, and a unitary seal surrounding a portion of the respective elongated members of the first tab and the second tab. The unitary seal spaces the first tab apart from the second tab to create a gap between the first tab and the second tab. The first tab and second tab each connect to respective electrodes enclosed within a pouch of a battery cell to allow the cell's energy to be transferred to an external component.
