A rechargeable battery according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include an electrode assembly which can charge and discharge a current, a lead tab which is electrically connected to the electrode assembly, and a pouch case including an accommodation unit in which the electrode assembly is accommodated, and of which at least a portion of an edge side is formed to be curved, and a bonding unit which is formed to be extended from the edge side of the accommodation unit and seals the accommodation unit, wherein the bonding unit may include an upper bonding unit from which the lead tab is drawn out and a side bonding unit which is bent in a thickness direction of the accommodation unit and enables a support space to be formed between the side bonding unit and the accommodation unit.

The present disclosure relates to a horizontal composite electricity supply structure, which comprises a first insulation layer, a second insulation layer, two electrically conductive layers, and a plurality of electrochemical system element groups. The two electrically conductive layers are disposed on the first and second insulation layers, respectively. The electrochemical system element groups are disposed between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, and connected in series and/or in parallel via the electrically conductive layers. The electrochemical system element group is formed by several serially connected electrochemical system elements. Each electrochemical system element includes a package layer on the sidewall, so that their electrolyte systems do not circulate with one another. Thereby, the high voltage produced by connection will not influence any single electrochemical system element nor decompose their respective electrolyte systems. Hence, serial and/or parallel connections are made concurrently in the horizontal composite electricity supply structure.
