Sealed battery with a film casing
View Patent ↗A sealed battery with a film casing, comprising: a film casing covering a battery element; an electrode terminal pulled out by being conductive-connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the battery element is taken out from a sealing part of the film casing; and a part of the electrode terminal between a portion positioned at the sealing part of the electrode terminal and a part of a portion of the electrode terminal extending outward beyond the sealing part being covered by an insulating resin layer, a region with low strength against bending being formed at the insulating resin layer positioned at a part extending outward beyond the sealing part or a part of the electrode terminal positioned at a lower layer of the insulating resin layer positioned at a part extending outward beyond the sealing part.
1. A sealed battery with a film casing, comprising:
a film casing covering a battery element;
an electrode terminal conductive-connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the battery element and extending through a sealing part of the film casing said sealing part being formed by heat sealing;
a first part of the electrode terminal between a first portion positioned at the sealing part of the electrode terminal and a second part of a portion of the electrode terminal extending outward beyond the sealing part being covered by an insulating resin layer; and an easy bending part having low bending strength as compared with said first part and said second part, a first region with low strength against bending being formed at the insulating resin layer positioned at the second part extending outward beyond the sealing part or a third part of the electrode terminal positioned at a lower layer of the insulating resin layer positioned at the second part extending outward beyond the sealing part; and
wherein the positive electrode and the negative electrode are individually and separately coated with the insulating resin layer, wherein the first region with low strength against bending is formed by a notched part or a void part, wherein the notched part or the void part provided at the insulating resin layer is provided on both sides of the insulating resin layer in a width direction or in a groove in the width direction, and wherein the battery element is a stacked structure where a positive electrode and a negative electrode facing each other via a separator are stacked, or a jelly roll structure where the positive electrode and the negative electrode facing each other via the separator are rolled.
2. The sealed battery according to claim 1 , wherein the notched part or the void part formed on the electrode terminal has a conductive sectional area which is a fuse.
