Core Cell Battery Architecture Using Patterned Current Collectors

A battery array comprising a plurality of batteries. Each battery comprises a plurality of stacked battery cells, wherein the battery cells have varying properties. Each battery cell comprises an anode layer; a cathode layer; an ion conducting membrane positioned between the anode layer and the cathode layer; a top layer; a bottom layer; and circuitry disposed on the top layer, bottom layer, or both. The circuitry comprising one or more first circuits for monitoring or controlling the battery cell. Further, the battery comprises a battery control circuit configured to provide electrical interface connections with the circuitry. The battery array comprises a battery array control circuit configured to provide electrical interface connections with the battery control circuits of each battery.
