A secondary battery includes an outer package member, an electrode terminal, and a battery device. The outer package member has a flat and columnar shape and includes a first bottom part and a second bottom part opposed to each other. The electrode terminal is supported by the first bottom part and is insulated from the first bottom part. The battery device is contained inside the outer package member and includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first bottom part has a recess around the electrode terminal.

A secondary battery includes: a case having an accommodating space therein; an electrode assembly accommodated in the case and having an uncoated portion on one end thereof; a current collector plate electrically connected to the uncoated portion of the electrode assembly; a cap plate sealing the case; and an electrode terminal outside the cap plate and electrically connected to the current collector plate. The current collector plate has a hole through which the electrode terminal passes and a coupling protrusion protruding toward the electrode assembly along a periphery of the hole.

A secondary battery includes: an electrode assembly; a case made of steel, in which openings are provided at opposite sides and in which the electrode assembly is arranged; a side terminal electrically connected to an electrode tab of the electrode assembly; and a cap plate made of steel, through which the side terminal passes and which is coupled to an opening of the openings.

In one embodiment, a battery includes an exterior unit, an electrode group, an electrode terminal, tab bundles and a lead. The electrode group is housed in an interior cavity of the exterior unit, and the electrode terminal is exposed to an outside. Current collecting tabs are stacked in the thickness direction of the electrode group in each of the tab bundles having the same polarity. The tab bundles protrude from the electrode group to the same side in the length direction of the electrode group. The lead establishes an electric connection between the respective tab bundles and the electrode terminal. The tab bundles are bonded to the lead at positions deviated from one another in the thickness direction, and are mounted on the lead from the same side in the thickness direction.

The present application provides a secondary battery, which includes a first electrode assembly, a second electrode assembly, a case, and a top cap assembly. The top cap assembly includes a top cap plate and a first electrode terminal, the top cap plate is connected to the case, and the first electrode terminal is arranged on the top cap plate. The first electrode assembly includes a first body and first tabs extending from the first body, and the first tabs are multiple and stacked. The second electrode assembly includes a second body and second tabs extending from the second body, and the second tabs are multiple and stacked. An end of each of the second tabs that is away from the second body is a second end portion. Each of the first tabs includes a first connecting portion extending beyond the second end portion.

A battery is provided in which a reliability of the caulked part vicinity of the terminal is suitably enhanced. One suitable embodiment of the battery herein disclosed includes a negative electrode electrical collector part includes a penetration hole into which the negative electrode terminal is inserted, and the penetration hole includes a taper part including an inclination for making an inner diameter become gradually larger along the insertion direction. Here, the negative electrode terminal is caulked on the taper part in a state of being arranged in the penetration hole, an outer circumference smoothing part including a step difference is formed at the outer circumferential edge on the caulked part, and a join part exists at which the outer circumference smoothing part and the edge part of the penetration hole are joined.

The application provides a battery cell, a manufacturing method and a manufacturing system therefor, a battery and an electric device. The battery cell in one embodiment of the application includes a casing having an opening and provided with a pressure relief mechanism which is actuated to relieve an internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell when the internal pressure or temperature reaches a threshold value; an electrode assembly accommodated in the casing, and including a body portion and a tab portion protruding therefrom; and a cover assembly for covering the opening. A first recessed portion is formed on one side, abutting against the body portion and facing the electrode assembly, of the cover assembly. The cover assembly is provided with at least one first channel. The first channel can reduce the gas accumulated between the electrode assembly and the cover assembly, thereby reducing the safety risk.

A terminal structure to be adopted for a power storage device including an outer case that has an opening, includes: a sealing plate sealing the opening; a terminal member inserted into a terminal hole formed in the sealing plate and electrically connected to an electrode; and a first insulating member arranged between the sealing plate and the terminal member, and arranged on an outer surface side of the sealing plate facing an outer side of the power storage device. The terminal member has a first extended part extending further outward than an outer periphery of the terminal hole on the outer side of the power storage device. A first protruding part or a second recessed part provided to the first insulating member and a first recessed part or a second protruding part provided to the sealing plate or to the first extended part fit with each other.
