Battery Cell, and Battery Pack and Vehicle Including the Same

Abstract

A battery cell may include an electrode assembly, a cell housing, and a can lid. The cell housing may include a sidewall portion, an opening at a first end of the cell housing in an axial direction, and a bottom portion at a second end of the cell housing in the axial direction. The cell housing is configured to accommodate the electrode assembly. The can lid may include an edge portion and an electrode coupling portion. The can lid is configured to cover the opening of the cell housing. The electrode coupling portion of the can lid extends further into an interior of the cell housing in an axial direction than the edge portion of the can lid. The electrode coupling portion contacts the electrode assembly and the edge portion of the can lid is spaced apart from the electrode assembly along the axial direction.
