Summary:A thin, flat, multicell battery comprising a multiplicity of electrically conductive layers arranged in cooperative electrical association with one another to provide a plurality of cells. The layers include intercell connectors which cooperate together to form sealed enclosures for each cell, and to form electrical connections to connect the cells in series. The battery has a minimized internal resistance, a capability for high discharge rates particularly suitable for the production of pulses of current, and a discharge efficiency far superior to conventional flat cell batteries at current densities exceeding 100 milliamperes per square inch of anode. These features are achieved by the adherence and electrical bonding one to the other of the confronting faces of the several conducting layers of the battery. The preferred form of the battery is discussed in terms of the LeClanche system.
