An economical method for manufacturing an electrode assembly of virtually any
shape to fit into a similarly shaped casing without compromising volumetric efficiency
is described. This is accomplished by providing an electrode assembly of multiplate
anode and cathode plates that substantially match the internal shape of the casing.
That way, no matter what shape the device being powered by the cell dictates the
electrode assembly assumes, as little internal volume as possible is left unoccupied
by electrode active materials.
