The present invention relates to a button-type secondary battery including: a lower can serving as a first electrode terminal; an upper can coupled to surround the lower can and serving as a second electrode terminal; and a gasket provided between the lower can and the upper can, wherein a recessed lower insertion groove and a recessed upper insertion groove are formed in a surface of the lower can and a surface of the upper can, which are in close contact with the gasket, respectively, the lower insertion groove and the upper insertion groove are spaced apart from each other so as not to face each other, and a sealing protrusion having a closed curve shape and being in close contact with the lower can and the upper can to increase in sealing force is formed on the gasket.

A cell includes an electrode assembly and a tab electrically connected to the electrode assembly, the packaging housing includes a housing body, a cover, and a polymer layer. The housing body is provided with an accommodating portion, where the accommodating portion is configured to accommodate the electrode assembly, the tab extends from the accommodating portion to the outside of the housing body, and the housing body is further provided with a first sealing portion extending from an edge of an opening of the accommodating portion to the outside of the housing body along a first direction. The cover is provided with a second sealing portion extending along the first direction. The cover covers the opening of the accommodating portion, and the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion are disposed opposite to each other. The polymer layer is disposed between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion.

A battery unit includes a housing assembly; an electrode assembly; a conductive plate; and a feedthrough assembly including a first washer and a rivet. The first washer includes a first gasket portion accommodated in the housing assembly, a second gasket portion disposed on an outer surface of the housing assembly, and a connecting portion connecting the first gasket portion and the second gasket portion. The housing is provided with a through hole for the connecting portion to run through. The rivet runs through and abuts against the first gasket portion, the connecting portion, and the second gasket portion to seal the through hole. The first washer and the rivet are mounted to the housing assembly via a clamping force applied to the first gasket portion and the second gasket portion after the rivet is riveted and deforms and a counterforce of the housing assembly.

In order to create an electrochemical cell, comprising a housing, an electrochemical element arranged in an interior of the housing, and at least one cell terminal that comprises a terminal feed-through, which extends through a through-opening of the housing, which electrochemical cell is of simple construction and requires a low production expenditure but still reliably limits the short circuit current that arises in the case of a non-regular operating state, it is proposed that the electrochemical cell comprises an electrically conductive sealing element, which seals the through-opening of the housing and electrically conductively connects the cell terminal to the housing.
