A configuration is provided so as to enable efficient fixing of cell groups to a housing of a battery pack. A housing of a battery pack has inside thereof a partition wall which extends in an extending direction and projects in a projecting direction. A cell group has a plurality of battery cells side-by-side in the extending direction one a side of the partition wall. Paste is filled into a gap between the partition wall and the cell group. The partition wall has an injection channel. The injection channel has an injection port for injecting the paste, and an inlet which communicates with the injection port and opens to the gap.

An electrode assembly includes an electrode plate and an embedded tab provided on the electrode plate. A spinning layer is provided on a surface of the electrode plate, the spinning layer covers the surface of the electrode plate and is in contact with the surface of the electrode plate, and the surface of the electrode plate includes a surface of the tab. The spinning layer replaces a conventional separator, and the spinning layer and the electrode plate are integrated as a whole. Especially in a battery structure with the embedded tabs, because the spinning layer is able to isolate metal burrs. The spinning layer replaces the green glue originally affixed on the tab region, thereby eliminating the glue affixed on the tab region.

A cylindrical secondary battery may have an insulation layer formed in a region in which the top cap and the first gasket are coupled to each other. The insulation layer may include a ceramic material and a binder. The secondary battery is designed so that, when an external electrical conductive object is electrically connected directly to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the secondary battery, an electrode tab of the secondary battery is broken as quickly as possible.

A liquid state battery includes a housing, a separator, a first slurry, a first current collector, a second slurry, a second current collector, a first tab, and a second tab having a different polarity than the first tab. The housing encloses a receiving space. The separator is disposed in the receiving space and divides the receiving space into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first slurry and the first current collector are disposed in the first chamber. The second slurry and the second current collector are disposed in the second chamber. The first tab is electrically connected to the first current collector and extending outside the housing. The second tab is electrically connected to the second current collector and extending outside the housing. This application further provides an electronic device containing such liquid state battery.
