The subject invention relates to a battery cell structure fabricated from a single fiber containing an electrode or active material of an electrode, a membrane separator, the electrolyte, the active material of a second electrode or a second electrode. Further, the subject invention relates to a cell design fabricated from two single fibers in contact with each other, one containing an electrode, a membrane separator, electrolyte, and the other, a second electrode. The two electrodes here, represent the positive and negative electrodes of a cell. The invention further relates to the process of inserting one fibrous electrode inside a fibrous membrane separator or insulator and to the process of forming one fibrous cell which contains an electrode, porous insulator, the electrolyte, the active material of a second electrode or a second electrode.
