Terminal means for electrochemical cells

A terminal pattern is disclosed for an assembly of reactive metal electrochemical cells which includes a plurality of bipolar electrodes arranged in stacked, spaced relationship and connected in series between a pair of spaced conductive end plates. The terminal pattern on each end plate of the assembly includes an array of interconnected terminal segments of high conductive material disposed outwardly of a center point of the respective end plate in a generally uniform pattern with respect to the area configuration of the end plate. The pattern of terminal segments enlarge the terminal area and provide more uniform current distribution and active metal consumption over the areas of the bipolar electrodes.
