1. An energy storage device comprising:
one or more energy storage cells being disposed in at least one cell holder; and
one or more interconnecting structures adapted for electrically connecting the one or more energy storage cells, wherein
each of the one or more interconnecting structures includes one or more openings adapted for securely positioning each of the one or more energy storage cells in the at least one cell holder, and
each of the one or more interconnecting structures has one or more slits, each having a predetermined shape with a predetermined cross-sectional area that diverts shunt current generated across each of the one or more slits, wherein the diverted shunt current travels around each of the one or more slits.
