Hermetically sealed electrochemical storage cell
First Claim
1. In a sealed electrochemical storage cell, having at least one anode electrode containing electrochemically active material, at least one cathode electrode containing electrochemically active material, and a porous electrolyte absorbent separator disposed between and in contact with each of said electrodes having an electrolyte absorbed therein, the improvement comprising:
- a glass enclosure surrounding said electrodes and separator and hermetically sealing the cell;
a battery terminal conductor connected to each said anode and cathode and extending through said glass casing from the interior to the exterior thereof, said terminal conductor being bonded directly to said casing in sealing relationship therewith;
the amount of said electrolyte not exceeding the capacity of said separator thereby substantially to preclude the presence of free liquid electrolyte in the cell.

Abstract
A sealed, rechargeable electrochemical cell in which a hermetically sealed glass casing completely surrounds an electrode assembly comprised of anode and cathode electrodes containing electrochemically active material, and a porous electrolyte absorbent separator between and in contact with each of the electrodes, the electrolyte absorbed in the separator being present in an amount not exceeding the separator capacity, the seal being effected at terminal conductors extending through the casing wall from the electrodes at the interior of the cell.
