Abstract

Described is a lithium-ion battery spacer having a spacer board with two operably coupled apertures disposed therethrough. The operably coupled apertures can be tapered to further facilitate smooth passage of a cathode or anode tab therethrough and secure such tab thereby minimizing tilting or shorting of the tab. Accordingly, the spacer leads to safer and more efficient production of the lithium-ion battery.
