Abstract
A battery structure using a plurality of cells in stacked array wherein each cell comprises an anode having a centrally positioned opening and flange positioned about the periphery of the opening for contact with the periphery of the opening of an adjacent anode. Each cell includes a pelletized depolarizer material that extends beyond the perimeter of the anode but coextensive with the anode flange. An outer encasement member receives the stacked array so that the depolarizer pellets are in electrical contact with the inner surface of the encasement. The encasement means includes a top member having an opening located to align with the openings in the anode and anode collector positioned through said opening in the top member and electrically insulated therefrom and in electrical contact with each of said anode flanges.
