Electrode assembly and rechargeable battery including the same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electrode assembly and a battery including the electrode assembly, and describes suppressing a reduction in output and a shortening of usable time at full charge, even when the number of charge-discharge cycles increases due to prolonged use. The electrode assembly has a first electrode plate, a separator, and a second electrode plate that are stacked together and wound so as to have a round area and a flat area, and includes an adhesive member disposed at one or more of an interface between the first electrode plate and the separator and an interface between the second electrode plate and the separator. The adhesive member is interposed in the round area and is not interposed in the flat area.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
