Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery, which includes a plurality of energy storage units; and a connecting portion that connects the plurality of energy storage units together in parallel, where the connecting portion is made of a flexible material. The embodiments of the present disclosure further provides a display panel, which includes the above battery and a flexible display module, where the battery is provides on a back side of the flexible display module, the battery is electrically connected with the flexible display module for providing power to the flexible display module.

The present invention provides a lithium ion battery module and an application thereof. The lithium ion battery module comprises: a plurality of cores, wherein the cores are roll cores, laminated cores or soft package batteries, one end of each core is respectively provided with a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab, the positive electrode tabs and the negative electrode tabs of the plurality of cores are connected in series and/or in parallel by means of connecting sheets, and a total positive electrode of the module and a total negative electrode of the module are formed; a plurality of separation parts, each used for accommodating a single core and physically separating each core, the separation part having a structure with an opening at the upper side; a shell; and a cover plate. After the shell and the cover plate are assembled, the internal space is used for accommodating a plurality of separation parts and cores in the separation parts, and the cover plate is provided with a connecting part of the total positive electrode of the module and a connecting part of the total negative electrode of the module. According to the lithium ion battery module, the module is directly assembled from the core level, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the space utilization rate and the process efficiency are improved.

Battery packs having jelly roll battery cells of different designs or capacities may have an imbalance in the charging and/or discharging current supplied to and provided by each jelly roll due to differences in capacity specific impedance between the battery cells of the battery pack. A C-rate (i.e., current relative to rated capacity) of a first and second battery cell connected in parallel may be balanced by altering properties of an active layer and/or a thickness of a current collector of the second battery cell to reduce an impedance of the second battery cell.
