First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for connecting to a terminal of a capacitor, comprising:
- an interconnect, the interconnect including one or more void formed therein, wherein the one or more void is definable by a shape that is smaller than a corresponding shape of a capacitor terminal the void is intended to be coupled to.

Abstract
A thermally fitted interconnect couples energy storage cells without the use of additional materials of fasteners. Variations of the interconnect can be used to facilitate fitting of multiple energy storage cell with multiple cell to cell spacings in a rapid and inexpensive manner.
