Thin film lithium-ion battery
A multi-cell battery includes a negative current collecting substrate; at least two laminated electric cores arranged in parallel to each other on the negative current collecting substrate; and a positive current collecting substrate, wherein the two laminated electric cores sandwiches about the positive current collecting substrate, thereby forming two cells on opposite sides of the positive current collecting substrate.
1. A multi-cell battery, comprising:
a negative current collecting substrate;
at least two laminated electric cores arranged in parallel to each other on the negative current collecting substrate;
a positive current collecting substrate, wherein said negative current collecting substrate is a folded substrate such that the two laminated electric cores sandwich about the positive current collecting substrate, thereby forming two cells on opposite sides of the positive current collecting substrate; and
a sealant layer sealing a side face of the folded negative current collecting substrate, wherein a distal end of the positive current collecting substrate penetrates through the sealant layer and protrudes from the side face.
2. The multi-cell battery according to claim 1 wherein each of the two laminated electric cores comprises a positive electrode active material layer, a separator, and a negative electrode active material layer.
3. The multi-cell battery according to claim 1 wherein the two cells are electrically coupled together in parallel.
