The present application provides an end cover assembly, a secondary battery, a battery module, a device, a liquid-injection method and a device thereof. The end cover assembly for the secondary battery includes: an end cover, provided with a through hole for injecting electrolyte, and including a connecting portion; a sealing assembly, configured to seal the through hole; a locking-fixing member, configured to be movable relative to the connecting portion in a radial direction of the through hole, so as to realize switching between a locked state and an unlocked state of the locking-fixing member and the connecting portion. In the locked state, the locking-fixing member presses against the sealing assembly to restrict the end cover to be separated from the sealing assembly; in the unlocked state, the end cover and the sealing assembly are separable to allow electrolyte to be injected from the through hole.

A miniature electrochemical cell of a primary or secondary chemistry with a total volume that is less than 0.5 cc is described. The cell has a casing comprising an annular sidewall supported on a lower plate opposite an upper lid. The lid has a sealed electrolyte fill port that is axially aligned with an annulus residing between the inner surface of the annular sidewall and the electrode assembly. The fill port axially aligned with the annulus between the electrode assembly and the casing sidewall allows the casing to be filled with electrolyte using a vacuum filling process so that activating electrolyte readily wets the anode and cathode active materials and the intermediate separator.

A battery, including an electrode assembly including a central hole, at least one positive electrode, at least one negative electrode, and at least one diaphragm separating the at least one positive electrode from the at least one negative electrode. The at least one positive electrode, the at least one negative electrode and the at least one diaphragm are disposed around the central hole in a spiral winding manner. The central hole has a diameter of greater than 0 and smaller than that of the battery. A pin assembly is disposed in the central hole. The pin assembly includes a housing including an axial through hole. The housing is partially or fully disposed in the central hole. At least one integrated circuit device is disposed in the axial through hole. The at least one integrated circuit device includes at least one access terminal and one output terminal.

A cylindrical battery cell includes a battery can accommodating a jelly-roll type electrode assembly therein, and a cap covers and closes an open end of the battery can. The cap is bonded to a tab of an electrode of the electrode assembly. The cap includes two or more electrode connecting portions, each of which protrudes into the interior of the battery can along the axial direction. The electrode connecting portions are spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction about a center of the cap, and at least two of the electrode connecting portions are positioned on opposing sides of the center of the cap. The cap functions as both a current collector plate and the cap, thus increasing energy density. Manufacturing methods are also disclosed, as is a battery pack including the battery cell and a vehicle equipped with the battery pack.
