Broad flexibility of nickel-cadmium battery designs is demonstrated by two newly developed multiple cell Burgess batteries.

The six-volt battery at top contains five flat nickel-cadmium cells stacked in a column and connected in series. Eight individual cells form the 9.6-volt battery at right.

By combining cells in this manner, using a unique conductive silver wax inter-cell connection, Burgess engineers can design and mass produce a virtually unlimited variety of rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries to meet the special requirements of industrial designers and electrical engineers.
