Abstract
An object is to provide a battery cell which can prevent current collectors from being damaged or cut and can reliably ensure conductivity between the current collectors and a terminal. A battery cell is provided which includes a power generation element that includes a plurality of current collectors; and a terminal that is extended in a stacking direction of the current collectors and is electrically connected to the current collectors, and in which the terminal is inserted into holes formed in the current collectors, bent portions are formed at abutment parts of the current collectors that abut on the terminal and a distance holder is arranged between the current collectors and around the abutment parts.
Claims2
A battery cell comprising:
- a power generation element that comprises a plurality of current collectors;
- and
- a terminal that is extended in a stacking direction of the current collectors and is electrically connected to the current collectors,
- wherein the terminal is inserted through holes formed in the current collectors, bent portions are formed at abutment parts of the current collectors that abut on the terminal,
- a distance holder is arranged between the current collectors and around the abutment parts,
- the battery comprises an exterior that stores the power generation element and the terminal therewithin,
- the exterior comprises a conductive layer on an abutment surface that abuts on a stacking end surface of the power generation element,
- the exterior comprises a resin layer that is a portion of the abutment surface and is arranged in an outer perimeter of the conductive layer on the abutment surface,
- the conductive layer on the abutment surface is larger in area than the resin layer on the abutment surface, and
- the resin layer on the abutment surface electrically insulates the conductive layer from the terminal.
