Abstract
Electrochemical device and method. The electrochemical device has an electrochemical module and an enclosure configured to enclose the electrochemical module. The enclosure has an electrically conductive first housing portion forming a first rim and an electrically conductive second housing portion forming a second rim, the first housing portion and the second housing portion, when the first rim of the first housing portion substantially abuts the second rim of the second housing portion, forming, at least in part, a volume configured to enclose the electrochemical device. The enclosure further has a substantially non-conductive grommet positioned between the first rim and the second rim, and a crimp ring engaging the first rim and the second rim, the crimp ring being configured to secure the first housing portion with respect to the second housing portion. The grommet is further positioned between the crimp ring and the first rim and the second rim.
