Abstract

A current connection device for use in batteries formed from a plurality of electrochemical cells wherein the electrodes in each cell are to have pressure cushions for isostatic compression and the cells are to operate at increased pressure levels. The device comprises two contact sheets welded to the sides of a metal plate, one to a side, the metal plate with its contact sheets being surrounded by an elastomer frame. A metallic current connection strip is coupled to the plate and extends through the frame to permit coupling the cells together.
