Abstract
An embedded power cell is formed by placing a cathode, anode, and electrolyte within a recess in an enclosure. The enclosure thus acts as part of an overall device and also contains the embedded power cell, eliminating the need for dedicated packaging for the power cell. In one implementation, a low-profile lithium ion battery with a polymerized electrolyte may be sealed within the enclosure. Other devices such as a cell temperature sensor, battery controller, and so forth may also be embedded within the enclosure.
