ABSTRACT:
A method for assembling a primary electrochemical cell including a carbon cathode structure. An anode structure, a porous separator and an elongated porous carbon element are arranged concentrically with respect to each other and positioned within an elongated housing of an electrochemical cell. The porous carbon element has a guide opening extending therealong for a portion of its entire length. A generally V-shaped, tapered, resilient, unitary metal current collector element is secured to a feedthrough member/cover assembly of the cell and introduced into the guide opening of the porous carbon element. The current collector element is then pushed, using the cover for this purpose, along the guide opening of the carbon element and then beyond the termination of the guide opening whereby the current collector element penetrates the material of the carbon element and becomes embedded within the carbon element. The current collector element is dimensioned relative to the guide opening in the carbon element so as to exert, when embedded within the carbon element, an outwardly directed force against internal portions of the carbon elements and the other internal components of the cell.
