An electric energy storage device includes a plurality of electrical energy cells. Each of the cells has an anode plate, a cathode plate, and electrolyte material. Current collectors are provided between the cells to conduct electrical current between the cells. The current collectors optionally include a seal that prevents electrolyte flow between the cells while permitting flow of vapor between the cells. The cells and current collectors may be contained in a common pressure vessel without separate pressure vessels being provided for each of the cells.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An electric energy storage device, comprising:a pressure vessel;a plurality of electrically connected coiled windings disposed within the pressure vessel, each winding including a cathode plate, an anode plate, and a separator located therebetween, each winding defining a circular first side and a circular second side axially spaced from the first side;an electrolyte material located within each winding; anda plurality of current collectors secured within the pressure vessel, at least one of the current collectors being electrically connected to a pair of the windings,wherein the plurality of windings are sealed from one another in the pressure vessel to prevent flow of the electrolyte material between the plurality of windings while permitting flow of vapor in the pressure vessel between the plurality of windings.
