1. A bipolar electrochemical battery comprising:

  • a stack of at least two electrochemical cells electrically arranged in series with the positive face of each cell contacting the negative face of an adjacent cell, wherein each of the cells comprises (a) a negative electrode;

    (b) a positive electrode;

    (c) a separator between the electrodes, wherein the separator includes an electrolyte;

    (d) a first electrically conductive lamination comprising a first, inner metal layer and a first polymeric outer layer, said first polymeric outer layer having at least one perforation therein to expose the first, inner metal layer, said first electrically conductive lamination being in electrical contact with the outer face of the negative electrode; and

    (e) a second electrically conductive lamination comprising a second, inner metal layer and a second polymeric outer layer, said second polymeric outer layer having at least one perforation therein to expose the second, inner metal layer, said second electrically conductive lamination being in electrical contact with the outer face of the positive electrode;

    wherein the first and second laminations are sealed peripherally to each other to form an enclosure including the electrodes, the separator and the electrolyte.
