Zusammenfassung: | An electrical terminal provides an electrical interconnection between the exterior and the interior of the pressure vessel of an energy storage cell. The terminal includes an external electrical conductor exterior to the pressure vessel and an internal electrical conductor within the interior of the pressure vessel. An electrically nonconductive support mounts the electrical conductors to the wall of the pressure vessel. The two electrical conductors are cooperatively engaged, preferably by matching threads. A compliant seal is positioned between the external electrical conductor and the internal electrical conductor, on the one hand, and the wall of the pressure vessel, on the other, and a biasing washer set applies a force between the seal and the electrical conductors to maintain hermeticity in the event that the seal deforms during service. |
