Abstract

The application describes a method for producing a plurality of flat electrochemical cells (1), wherein the cells are arranged between sheets of flexible sealing material and a seal is made between adjacent cells. The spacing between adjacent cells (1) is chosen to be substantially equal to or slightly larger than the width of the individual cells. The application also describes a single cell (1) or a group of cells (1) formed in accordance with the above method, wherein the single cell has sealed edges each of which is substantially half the width of the cell or slightly more than half the width of the cell, or wherein the group of cells (1) has the aforementioned sealing edges and sealed areas therebetween which are substantially the same width as the cells or slightly wider than the width of the cells.
