1. A method of balancing a battery comprising:
receiving a voltage measurement at a cell module coupled with a first battery cell of the battery, the first battery cell comprising:
an anode current collector comprising a polymeric material, the anode current collector characterized by a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface,
an anode active material disposed on the first surface of the anode current collector,
a cathode current collector comprising a polymeric material, the cathode 9 current collector characterized by a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface,
a cathode active material disposed on the first surface of the cathode current collector,
a first conductive band electrically coupled with the first battery cell, wherein the first conductive band is seated on the second surface of one of the anode current collector or the cathode current collector, and wherein the first conductive band extends about a perimeter of the one of the anode current collector or the cathode current collector; and
drawing a current from the first battery cell of the battery to lower a state of charge of the first battery cell.
