Abstract
Batteries of this invention prevent the flow of electrical current between a reversed cell and an adjacent cell aligned in an end-to-end configuration. Terminals useful with batteries of this invention are characterized by an electrically nonconductive portion cooperatively positioned above an electrically conductive portion. In one embodiment, the terminal's electrically nonconductive portion is masked with an electrically nonconductive resin.
