BIPOLAR RECHARGABLE ELECTROCHEMICAL BATTERY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H01M12/08 H01M10/04 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: bipolar battery has a positive monopolar electrode assembly, a negative monopolar electrode assembly, at least one bipolar electrode assembly stacked between the said positive electrode assembly and the said negative electrode assembly, an electrolyte layer between each pair of neighbouring electrode assemblies, and a lining around each of the said electrolyte layers. Each of the said electrolyte layers is sealed by its corresponding lining and corresponding pair of neighbouring electrode assemblies. The lining is configured to level each of the said neighbouring electrode assemblies. The bipolar battery also has a case for preserving seals created by the linings.

EFFECT: improved sealing.
