Tesa and Westinghouse would recognize the bus bar construction.
Meanwhile, they're working on solid state batteries configured as a card, that can be stacked and compresed together into a deck of any height/voltage.

NASA's Solid-State Battery Research Exceeds Initial Goals
7 Oct 2022The possibilities are pretty incredible." This illustration depicts the inside of a cell used in SABERS's solid-state battery, which is made primarily from sulfur and selenium. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, these cells can be stacked on top of one another without encasings to separate them. Credits: NASA New Developments

From TFA:
Quote:
Instead of housing each individual battery cell inside its own steel casing, as liquid batteries do, all the cells in SABERS’s battery can be stacked vertically inside one casing. Thanks in part to this novel design, SABERS has demonstrated solid-state batteries can power objects at the huge capacity of 500 watt-hours per kilogram – double that of an electric car.
“Not only does this design eliminate 30 to 40 percent of the battery’s weight, it also allows us to double or even triple the energy it can store, far exceeding the capabilities of lithium-ion batteries that are considered to be the state of the art,” Viggiano said.
