Energy storage cell
An energy storage cell has a cell body with an areal expansion in an extension plane, with four side faces bounding a circumference of the area of extent and having each two of the side faces parallel to one another. A conductor electrode and a second electrode are disposed on one of the side faces symmetrically in the direction of the circumference of the extension plane relative to a center of the corresponding side face. A line from a contact point between an inward facing edge of the electrodes to a center point of the extension plane encloses an angle λ of 10°<λ<36° with the corresponding side face. The center of the side face and/or a contact point of an outward facing edge of the electrodes forms an angle β about the center point of the extension plane of 8°<β<45° with the corresponding side face with said center.
