Provided herein are battery cells for battery packs in electric vehicles. A battery cell can include a housing. The housing can have a body region, a neck region, and a head region. The body region can include an electrolyte, anode, and cathode. The battery cell can include a sealing element disposed in the head region. The battery cell can include two conductive layers and an insulation layer disposed within the sealing element. The first conductive layer can include a positive terminal to couple with a first wire connected to the cathode. The first conductive layer can define a first opening to pass a second wire. The second conductive layer can include a negative terminal to couple with the second wire connected to the anode. The second conductive layer can define a second opening to pass the first wire. The insulation layer can be disposed between the two conductive layers. |
