ABSTRACT:
An electrode assembly in embodiments of the invention can include a unitary member formed from an electrically conductive material having a central portion, and tab and plate portions extending radially outward from the central portion. The unitary member can be folded to configure the plate portions in a stacked configuration, thereby providing an electrically connected support structure for a cathode and/or anode assembly without individual connections/welds of plates to a common connection. The elimination of multiple welds lowers the internal resistance of the electrode assembly, and improves the structural integrity. Embodiments of the invention include batteries and implantable medical devices (IMDs) which incorporate the design flexibility in the shape and contour of the electrode assembly and hence, the overall shape and design of batteries and IMDs.
