Abstract
A battery with improved performance has a collector mechanism which facilitates assembly. The battery has a first centrally located electrode plate, which has a first polarity. Second and third electrode plates having a second polarity are located above and below the first electrode plate, respectively, and are separated therefrom by separator layers. A first outer case forms a terminal of the first polarity and is insulated from the second electrode plate by a first insulating plate. A second outer case is electrically connected to the second and third electrode plates. The first outer case is electrically connected to the first electrode plate by a collector rod which passes through one of the separator layers, the second electrode plate, and the first insulating plate.
