Abstract

A battery packing includes: a bare cell; a protective circuit module electrically connected to the bare cell; a first lead plate connecting the protective circuit module and a terminal of the bare cell; and a first cover at an upper portion of the bare cell, wherein a portion of the first cover protrudes outward and accommodates the protective circuit module.

Claims (23)

1. A battery pack comprising:

a bare cell comprising a cap plate, the cap plate comprising a terminal;

a protective circuit module electrically connected to the bare cell;

a first lead plate connecting the protective circuit module and the terminal; and

a first cover at an upper portion of the bare cell, the first cover comprising a first protrusion part comprising:

an outer surface protruding away from the protective circuit module along a height direction; and

an inner surface having a concave shape facing the protective circuit module, the inner surface being opposite to the outer surface, and the inner surface of the first protrusion part defining a space that accommodates the protective circuit module in its entirety,

wherein the first protrusion part covers a portion of the protective circuit module along an entire width of the cap plate, and

wherein the first protrusion part in its entirety is located between the terminal and an end of the cap plate along a length direction of the cap plate.

2. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the first cover further comprises a first cover body part at the upper portion of the bare cell, the first protrusion part protruding from the first cover body part.

3. The battery pack of claim 2 , wherein the first protrusion part has an opening which at least partially exposes an external terminal of the protective circuit module.

4. The battery pack of claim 1 , further comprising a cover holder between the bare cell and the protective circuit module.

5. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the protective circuit module is offset from the terminal.

6. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the protective circuit module is farther away from the terminal than the first lead plate.

7. The battery pack of claim 1 , further comprising a label surrounding the bare cell.

8. The battery pack of claim 7 , wherein the label comprises:

a first label surrounding the bare cell and a portion of the first cover; and

a second label protruding from the first label and surrounding the first protrusion part.

9. The battery pack of claim 2 ,

wherein the first protrusion part in its entirety is offset from a center of the first cover body part with respect to the length direction of the cap plate, the height direction and the length direction crossing each other.

10. The battery pack of claim 2 , wherein a portion of the first cover body part covers the terminal, and

wherein a distance between the cap plate and the portion of the first cover body part that covers the terminal along the height direction is less than a distance between an uppermost portion of the first protrusion part and the cap plate along the height direction, the height direction and the length direction crossing each other, and the height direction corresponding to a stacking direction of the cap plate and the first cover.

11. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the first lead plate comprises a bent portion.
