Electrochemical cell

The present invention relates to an electrochemical cell, comprising: - a first current collector (16) having a first collecting section (20) in contact with a first electrode (11) and having a first connecting section (24), - a second current collector (18) overlapping with the first current collector (16) and having a second collecting section (30) in contact with a second electrode (13) and having a second connecting section (34), - wherein first and second current collectors (16, 18) are mutually connected via their first and second connecting sections (24, 34) and wherein a distance (d) between first and second connecting sections (24, 34) is equal to or smaller than 50% of the distance (D) between the first and the second collecting sections (20, 30).
