Abstract
A battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode and a second electrode, a first electrode terminal, and a first current collecting member electrically connecting the first electrode terminal and a first electrode uncoated region of the first electrode. The first current collecting member includes a first terminal connection region, a side plate extending downwardly from the first terminal connection region towards the first electrode uncoated region, a first current collecting piece extending from the side plate, the first current collecting piece being in contact with the first electrode uncoated region, and a fuse between the side plate and the first current collecting piece.
Claims19
A battery, comprising:
- an electrode assembly including a first electrode and a second electrode;
- a first electrode terminal;
- and
- a first current collecting member electrically connecting the first electrode terminal and a first electrode uncoated region of the first electrode, the first current collecting member including
- a first terminal connection region,
- a side plate extending downwardly from the first terminal connection region towards the first electrode uncoated region,
- a first current collecting piece coupled with the side plate, the first current collecting piece being in contact with the first electrode uncoated region, and
- a fuse in a region of the first current collecting member that extends between the side plate and the first current collecting piece, the fuse having a smaller sectional area than adjacent portions of the side plate and the first current collecting piece.
