Well said Turin, after all pilots know how to fly aircraft, why should they also be an authority on electronics and batteries?
There appears to be some confusion over sub-cells, they are only there because of the prismatic construction of the cell, you cant bend the electrode through 180° with zero radius so you end up with sub cells, in a circular battery you can have continuous electrodes so it has no need of sub-cells, although there may well be multiple connections to that electrode.
