ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a prismatic rechargeable battery that includes providing a battery housing comprising a plurality of cell vessels separated by intermediate walls. The method also includes providing contact connector plates on opposite sides of each of the intermediate walls and electrically coupling the contact connector plates provided on opposite sides of the intermediate walls to each other through their associated intermediate walls. The method further includes arranging plate stacks in the cell vessels, each of the plate stacks having a plurality of contacts and coupling the electrical contacts of the plate stacks to contact connector plates provided on the intermediate walls. The method further includes closing the housing such that the cell vessels and the housing are sealed.
