1. A thin profile battery defined by a thickness which is less than a maximum linear dimension of its anode, comprising:

  • an anode, and a cathode;

    a conductive first terminal housing member having a periphery and being in electrical contact with one of the anode or the cathode;

    a conductive second terminal housing member having a periphery and being in electrical contact with the other of the anode or the cathode;

    the first and second terminal housing members forming an enclosed housing which surrounds the anode and the cathode;

    the first and second terminal housing member peripheries together forming a seal;

    a separator between the anode and the cathode;

    the separator having a periphery that extends between the first and second terminal housing member peripheries at least partially into the seal; and

    wherein a total combined thickness of the anode, the cathode, the separator, and the first and second terminal housing members is less than 1 millimeter.
