Carr, P

A bipolar electrode element has an electrically conductive, chemically inert, generally flat wall having first and second opposing faces. Each of the first and second faces has a plurality of spaced, parallel grooves with the spaced grooves in the first face being laterally staggered from the spaced grooves in the second face. First and second spaced and substantially parallel electrodes have first edges disposed within first and second respective grooves of the spaced-parallel grooves in the first face and extend generally perpendicular from the plane of the inert wall. A third electrode has a first edge disposed within a groove in the second face and extends generally perpendicular from the plane of the inert wall. A battery stack is obtained by positioning a plurality of the bipolar battery elements such that their electrodes are interdigitated. 3 figures.
