A bus bar protector is configured to cover a bus bar having a flat plate portion and a standing portion standing from an end of the flat plate portion, and includes a first cover that covers one face of the bus bar and a second cover that covers another face of the bus bar. The first cover includes a first flat plate cover that covers the flat plate portion of the bus bar, and a first standing cover that covers the standing portion of the bus bar. The second cover includes a second flat plate cover that covers the flat plate portion of the bus bar, and a second standing cover that covers the standing portion of the bus bar. The first standing cover includes a pair of engagement pieces arranged to project toward the second standing cover and bent toward each other to engage with the second standing cover.

The disclosure provides a battery and a battery apparatus including the battery. The battery includes a housing, a positive current collector, a negative current collector and a resistor assembly. The positive current collector is disposed at the housing, and the negative current collector is disposed at the housing. The positive current collector is electrically connected to the housing through the resistor assembly, and the resistor assembly includes a first resistor and a second resistor arranged in parallel. A resistance value of the first resistor is greater than a resistance value of the second resistor. By arranging the first resistor and the second resistor arranged in parallel and configuring the resistance value of the first resistor to be greater than the resistance value of the second resistor, a total resistance value of the first resistor and the second resistor is less than the resistance value of the second resistor.

Disclosed is a battery having a conductive terminal extending beyond a surface of a battery cover, the conductive terminal having an internal portion and an external surface, wherein the internal portion comprises lead and external surface comprises a non-lead conductive material. Further disclosed is a method for producing such a battery.

An electrical connection comprises a first conductor and a second conductor electrically connected to the first conductor. The first conductor has a first contact section with a first contact face laterally delimited by a first side face. The second conductor has a second contact section with a second contact face surrounded by a rim having a second side face. The second side face limits a contact space above the second contact face and the first contact face is arranged on the second contact face. A reservoir space is arranged between the first side face of the first contact face and the second side face of the rim, the reservoir space surrounds the first contact face and a sealing material is arranged in the reservoir space. The sealing material forms a sealing ring that seals an interface between the first contact face and the second contact face.
