Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de proposer un bloc-batterie permettant, même si une surface active d'électrode est grande, à une pression de poussée appropriée d'être appliquée facilement sur un corps stratifié comprenant des cellules uniques qui ont été stratifiées. La solution selon l'invention comprend : le corps stratifié (140) dans lequel des cellules uniques (10) sont stratifiées ; un boîtier de cellule (120) ayant une première partie d'ouverture (126) et ayant le corps stratifié (140) disposé dans ce dernier ; et un premier élément de couvercle (170) scellant de manière étanche la première partie d'ouverture (126). La première partie d'ouverture (126) est positionnée de façon à être tournée vers une surface (142) du corps stratifié (140) dans la direction de stratification (S) de cellule unique. Le premier élément de couvercle (170) est configuré d'une manière telle que, si la pression interne du boîtier de cellule (120) est inférieure à la pression atmosphérique, le premier élément de couvercle (170) se déforme tout en maintenant un état scellé de manière étanche, vient en butée contre la surface (142) du corps stratifié (140), et applique sur la surface en butée une pression qui est basée sur la différence de pression entre la pression atmosphérique et la pression interne du boîtier de cellule (120).
