1. A system, comprising:
- a battery cell, comprising;
a packaging having a first terminal port defined by a first cupped portion that extends outwardly from the surface of the packaging;
a coil disposed within the packaging;
a first terminal electrically coupled to a portion the coil and protruding through the first terminal port of the packaging; and
a first press-fit ring that surrounds the first cupped portion and provides a first radially inward compressive force to the first cupped portion that hermetically seals the first terminal in the first terminal port.
