Secondary battery

Abstract

A secondary battery including: an electrode assembly including a negative electrode tab and a positive electrode tab at opposite ends thereof in a longitudinal direction; a case accommodating the electrode assembly, both ends of the case in the longitudinal direction being open; a pair of cap plates respectively coupled to the open ends of the case; and a negative electrode terminal and a positive electrode terminal respectively electrically connected to the negative electrode tab and the positive electrode tab and exposed at an outside of the cap plates, respectively. A current collector is on an upper portion of the negative electrode tab or the positive electrode tab, a terminal connection part is on the current collector, and the terminal connection part passes through a plate hole in the cap plate to be electrically connected to the negative electrode terminal or the positive electrode terminal.
