A negative-electrode terminal that is secured to a sealing plate is connected to a first negative-electrode current collector. A negative-electrode tab that is connected to the negative-electrode sheet is connected to a second negative-electrode current collector. The first negative-electrode current collector and the second negative-electrode current collector are disposed along the sealing plate. The second negative-electrode current collector has an opening. The second negative-electrode current collector is disposed on the first negative-electrode current collector such that the opening faces the first negative-electrode current collector. The second negative-electrode current collector is welded to the first negative-electrode current collector around the opening.

The present invention relates to a secondary battery. The secondary battery comprises: an electrode assembly; a can configured to accommodate the electrode assembly; an electrolyte impregnated into the electrode assembly while being injected into the can; and a cap assembly mounted on an opening of the can, wherein the cap assembly comprises: a top cap in which a top hole is formed to pass vertically; a safety vent which is provided under the top cap and in which a vent hole is formed to pass vertically; and a current interrupt device (CID) filter which is provided under the safety vent, to which a positive electrode tab provided in the electrode assembly is coupled, and in which a CID hole is formed to pass vertically, wherein the CID hole is closed or opened by the positive electrode tab.

Presented are stacked electrode designs for electrochemical devices, methods for making/using such electrochemical devices, and lithium-class cylindrical and prismatic battery cells with stacked electrode architectures. An electrochemical device employs multiple first (e.g., anode) electrodes and multiple second (e.g., cathode) electrodes, each of which includes an active (anode/cathode) electrode material borne by an electrode body and a flexible tab projecting from the electrode body. Multiple electrically insulating separators are interleaved between and stacked along a central stack axis with the electrodes to define an electrode stack. A first electrically conductive current collector fully or partially surrounds the electrode stack and interference fits with the electrode tabs of the first electrodes to electrically connect thereto. A second electrically conductive current collector is disposed inside the first current collector, aligned substantially parallel with the central stack axis, and interference fit with the electrode tabs of the second electrodes to electrically connect thereto.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries, and provides a battery, a battery apparatus and a battery pack. The battery includes a battery surface and a pole element. The battery surface is provided with a first recess, and the first recess is used to accommodate the pole element of the other battery. The pole element is arranged on the battery surface and is located outside a range where the first recess is located. By providing the first recess on the battery surface, the pole element of the other battery can be accommodated in the first recess when the batteries are grouped.

The disclosure provides a battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and a battery manufacturing method. The battery includes a housing, a cell, and a pole column subassembly. The housing includes two first surfaces opposite to each other in a first direction. The cell is arranged in the housing. The cell includes a cell body and a tab portion. The tab portion includes two or more single-piece tabs extending from the lateral side of the cell body. When the single-piece tabs are flattened along the direction perpendicular to the lateral side of the cell body, the overlapping direction of the single-piece tabs is the first direction. The pole column subassembly is arranged on a first surface and connected with the tab portion. The orthographic projections of the tab portion and the pole column subassembly along the first direction are at least partially overlapped on a first surface.
