Title: Battery system including batteries that have a plurality of positive terminals and a plurality of negative terminals

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1117850
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;

A lithium battery for use in a vehicle includes a container, a plurality of positive terminals extending from a first end of the lithium battery, and a plurality of negative terminals extending from a second end of the lithium battery. The plurality of positive terminals are provided in a first configuration and the plurality of negative terminals are provided in a second configuration, the first configuration differing from the second configuration. A battery system for use in a vehicle may include a plurality of electrically connected lithium cells or batteries.
