Electronic cigarette and battery assembly thereof

The present application provides an electrical cigarette and a battery assembly thereof, wherein a first charging electrode assembly is arranged at a front end of the battery assembly, such that the battery assembly can be directly inserted into a charger to be charged without removing an atomizing assembly, therefore the operation is more convenient and disadvantages caused by frequent disassembling and assembling may be avoided. In addition, under the action of a charging management circuit, the electrode assembly at the front end can only be charged but cannot discharge, thereby avoiding an occurrence of a short circuit when the charging terminal discharges, extending the service life of the battery, and further avoiding a hidden danger of battery liquid leakage caused by the short circuit. In addition, since the front end of the electronic cigarette can not discharge, a situation that the electronic cigarette still has a low battery even been charged for a long time will not happen.

Overcharge protection systems for prismatic lithium ion battery cells with biased packaging
11245163 · 2022-02-08 · ·

A prismatic lithium ion battery cell includes a packaging having a cover. A power assembly disposed within the packaging has a first (e.g., negative) side and a second (e.g., positive) side. A terminal pad is electrically coupled to the first side, while the cover is electrically coupled to the second side, of the power assembly. The cover includes a spiral disk feature disposed below the terminal pad and a reversal disk disposed below the spiral disk feature. The reversal disk is configured to deflect upwards to displace the spiral disk feature to contact the terminal pad in response to a pressure within the packaging being greater than a first predefined pressure threshold, forming an external short-circuit between the first and second sides of the power assembly. Subsequently, a portion of the power assembly fails in response to the external short-circuit and interrupts current flow within the power assembly.
