DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The battery device comprises a rechargeable, button type battery storage cell having first and second internal electrodes, a first external terminal connected to the first internal electrode, and a second external terminal connected to the second internal electrode, where one of the external terminals (20) comprises a conductive loaded, resin-based material (25-35 wt.%) comprising conductive materials in a base resinhost. The conductive materials comprise metal powder and/or non-metal powder. The metal powder is a non-conductive material with a metal plating, and has a diameter of 3-12 mu m. The conductive materials further comprise micron conductive fiber (20-40 wt.%). The micron conductive fiber has a diameter of 3-12 mu m and a length of 2-14 mm. The conductive materials comprise a combination of conductive powder and conductive fiber. The device further comprises a metal layer overlying the conductive loaded resin-based material, a conductive paint layer overlying the conductive loaded resin-based material, and a cable (18) connected to one of the external terminals. A connection between the conductive loaded resin-based external terminal and the internal electrode is formed through the metal layer and the conductive paint layer. The battery storage cell is a wet cell. The cable comprises: a cable terminal; and a cable core conductor. The cable terminal comprises a conductive loaded, resin-based material comprising conductive materials in a base resin host, and a metal layer overlying the conductive loaded, resin-based material. The cable core conductor comprises a conductive loaded, resin-based material comprising conductive materials in a base resin host, and a metal layer overlying the conductive loaded, resin-based material. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method to form a battery device.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic view of battery terminals and battery cable terminals or lugs.
