Abstract

A device for a battery with a spacer preventing direct physical contact between first and second batteries arranged in physical series. A resilient conductor providing an electroconductive contact between a center electrode of the first battery and a terminal electrode of the second battery is held by the spacer.

Claims

1. A battery comprising

a cylindrical casing having a rim at either end thereof;

a positive terminal at a first end of said casing axially inwardly of one of said rims;

a negative terminal at a second end of said casing;

a resilient contact in electroconductive contact with said positive terminal and extending axially outwardly of the adjacent said rim.

2. The battery of claim 1, said negative terminal being axially inwardly of the other of said rims.

3. A battery comprising

a cylindrical casing having a rim at either end thereof;

a positive terminal at a first end of said casing;

a negative terminal at a second end of said casing axially inwardly of one of said rims;

a resilient contact in electroconductive contact with said negative terminal and extending axially outwardly of the adjacent said rim.
