HIGH THROUGHPUT STAGGERED ELECTRODE TAB MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Disclosed is a method including depositing a first strip of active material for a battery on an electrically conductive foil, the first strip having a first edge and an opposite second edge, depositing a second strip of active material for the battery on the electrically conductive foil, wherein the second strip has a first edge and an opposite second edge, the first edge of the second strip being spaced a distance from the second edge of the first strip of active material for the battery, forming a first set of a plurality of tabs in the electrically conductive foil extending in a first direction away from the second edge of the first strip, forming a second set of a plurality of tabs in the electrically conductive foil extending in a second direction away from the first edge of the second strip.
