Abstract
A battery cell includes an electrode assembly, a housing, and an electrode terminal. The electrode assembly includes a tab. The housing is configured to accommodate the electrode assembly. The electrode terminal is disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the tab. The electrode terminal is provided with a through hole, where the through hole is configured for injecting an electrolyte into an inner space of the housing.
Claims20
A battery cell, comprising:
- an electrode assembly, comprising a tab;
- a housing, configured to accommodate the electrode assembly;
- and
- an electrode terminal, disposed in the housing and electrically connected to the tab, the electrode terminal being provided with a first through hole, and the first through hole being configured for injecting an electrolyte into an inner space of the housing;
- wherein:
- the electrode assembly is a winding structure, and the electrode assembly has a second through hole at a winding center of the winding structure;
- the first through hole communicates with the second through hole, so that the electrolyte injected through the first through hole is capable of flowing into the second through hole;
- in an axial direction of the first through hole, a projection of the second through hole is greater than a projection of the first through hole;
- the electrode terminal is electrically connected to the tab through at least one welding portion;
- and
- the at least one welding portion includes a plurality of welding portions disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction of the first through hole, or the welding portion surrounds only part of the first through hole in the circumferential direction of the first through hole.
