Battery for wireless mobile communication device

A battery, comprising a case, an electrode assembly within the case, wherein the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and positive and negative conductors electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes, respectively, at a substantially similar point on the respective electrode assembly such that current flows in opposite directions through the positive and negative electrodes. The positive and negative conductors are closely routed so as to be aligned and in close proximity. As a result, magnetic fields generated by the positive and negative electrodes and the positive and negative conductors are substantially cancelled.
