Lithium Metal Polymer battery > Module Design The elementary
cell (element) of Lithium Metal Polymer technology is completed
by assembling ultra-thin films, with a thickness of a few
microns. Films are layered, coiled, then compressed into a
prismatic shape. Total thickness of the resulting laminate is in
a range of 150 µm, and depends on electrical specifications
required by t he application. In fact, modifying thickness of
the film allows to optimize specific performances to meet needs
of a large number of application. For instance, an assembly of
"thick" films allows to obtain a "high energy" configuration
whereas thinner elements would lead to a high power
configuration. Flexibility of this concept, based on the
assembly of thin films, is remarkable as elements of different
thickness, width and length can be produced on the same
production equipment. Applications which use industrial
batteries have wide energy storage requirements, both
electrically (capacity, voltage, discharge rate) and
mechanically (ge
