NOVELTY - The system has a prismatic container that is rectangular in shape and includes an opening. A lid is coupled to the prismatic container to seal the opening. An electrode assembly includes a negative coil and a positive coil. The positive coil of the electrode assembly is in conductive contact with the prismatic container such that the prismatic container and lid are positively polarized.    USE - System for battery cell such as prismatic electrochemical cell of battery module (all claimed) for use in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) such as car. Can also be used in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PREV).    ADVANTAGE - The positive polarity containers can facilitate various packaging configurations of cells, so that battery modules can be effectively used in vehicle application. The negative charge generated by the negative coil of the electrode assembly is electrically isolated from the container, so that operability is ensured and occurrence of short circuit can be prevented. The rigidity of the prismatic cell can improve the durability of the cell by preventing punctures and other minor deformations of the cell, so that abuse tolerance of the cell can be improved. The prismatic cell can be arranged and constructed in such a way to improve the system level packaging efficiency. The intercellular connections can be shortened due to terminal placement and can be formed by stamping to reduce waste associated with manufacturing. The ultrasonic welding can be desired as no additional filler material/apparatus is required, so that occupied volume within the cell can be minimized.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a battery module.
