This patent describes a galvanic cell having an anode, an electrolyte and a cathode assembled in a sealed cell housing, the housing comprising, (a) a first cover member having at least one dependent skirt; (b) a second cover member having at least one dependent skirt; (c) an electrically non-conductive gasket having a central opening, an upper surface with a groove disposed in the upper surface, and an inner wall inward of the upper and lower surface grooves defining the central opening. The dependent skirt of the first cover member is positioned in the groove in the lower surface of the gasket. The dependent skirt of the second cover member is positioned in the groove in the upper surface of the gasket and, the inner wall of the gasket contacts interior portions of both of the cover members and having a height equal to the distance between the cover members in the interior of the cell housing.
