Abstract

Provided is a battery cell including: an electrode assembly including a first electrode part, a second electrode part, and a separation membrane; a first terminal and a second terminal extending in a first direction or a fourth direction which is an opposite direction to the first direction from the first electrode part and the second electrode part, respectively; a first lead tap and a second lead tap connected to the first terminal and the second terminal, respectively; and a case in which the electrode assembly, the first terminal, and the second terminal are accommodated, which is sealed to expose the first lead tap and the second lead tap to the outside, and in which a sealing part sealed by coating a sealing member on circumferential sides joined with each other is formed.

Claims (21)

1. A battery cell, comprising:

an electrode assembly including a first electrode part, a second electrode part, and a separation membrane;

a first terminal and a second terminal extending in a first direction or a fourth direction which is an opposite direction to the first direction from the first electrode part and the second electrode part, respectively;

a first lead tap and a second lead tap connected to the first terminal and the second terminal, respectively,

wherein the first lead tap extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and

wherein the second lead tap extends in a third direction opposite to the second direction; and

a case in which the electrode assembly, the first terminal, and the second terminal are accommodated, which is sealed to expose the first lead tap and the second lead tap to the outside, and in which a sealing part sealed by coating a sealing member on circumferential sides joined with each other is formed,

wherein the first lead tap is connected to the first terminal via a first terminal-lead tap connection, and the second lead tap is connected to the second terminal via a second terminal-lead tap connection, and

wherein the first terminal-lead tap connection and the second terminal-lead tap connection are inside the case.

2. The battery cell of claim 1 , wherein the first lead tap and the second lead tap extend linearly.

3. The battery cell of claim 1 ,

wherein the electrode assembly includes a plurality of the first electrode parts and a plurality of the second electrode parts stacked alternatively, and a plurality of seperation members that seperate adjecent first electrode parts of the plurality of the first electrode parts and second electrode parts of the plurality of the second electrode parts,

wherein adjecent first terminals of the plurality of the first electrode parts contact with each other to form a first collection part, and

wherein adjecent second terminals of the plurality of the second electrode parts contact with each other to form a second collection part.

4. The battery cell of claim 3 ,

wherein a plurality of the first terminals of the plurality of the first electrode parts are bent toward a middle portion of the electrode assembly along a stacking direction to form the first collection part, and

wherein a plurality of the second terminals of the plurality of the second electrode parts are bent toward the middle portion of the electrode assembly along the stacking direction to form the second collection part,

wherein the stacking direction is a direction along which the plurality of the first electrode parts, the plurality of the second electrode parts, and the plurality of the seperation members stack.

5. The battery cell of claim 1 ,

wherein the first lead tap is within a boundary of the first terminal in the first direction, the third direction, and the fourth direction, and

wherein the second lead tap is within a boundary of the second terminal in the first direction, the second direction, and the fourth direction.
