The Cell Electrode stack uses a “stack and wrap” separator configuration that aids in
keeping the individual electrode plates in close contact. After two (2) electrodes and two
(2) loose separator sections are placed on the stack, the stack is rotated with one single
separator to wrap and hold the stack tight and eliminate separation of the electrodes
during charge and discharge of the cell (Figure G-5).

The current collectors of each individual cell are welded to provide a connection point for
the voltage sensing and balancing connector (Error! Reference source not found.). The
connectors contact the rectangular features formed from the welding of the cell current
collectors by contact pressure. The connectors are held in place by a clip inserted into the
module frame.
