Abstract

To provide a lithium-ion storage battery or electronic device that is flexible and highly safe. One embodiment of the present invention is a flexible storage battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, an exterior body that surrounds the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator, and a wiring provided along the exterior body. At least part of the wiring is more easily breakable by deformation than the exterior body. The wiring is more vulnerable to deformation than the exterior body and thus damaged earlier than the exterior body. Damage to the wiring is detected and an alert is sent to a user; thus, the use of the storage battery can be stopped before the exterior body is damaged.

Claims (21)

1. A storage battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode;

a separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode;

an exterior body surrounding the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator;

a wiring provided along the exterior body; and

a circuit configured to detect damage to the wiring,

wherein one terminal of the wiring is electrically connected to the positive electrode, and

wherein the other terminal of the wiring is electrically connected to the positive electrode through the circuit.

2. A storage battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode

a tab electrode;

a wiring;

a separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode;

an exterior body surrounding the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator; and

a circuit configured to detect damage to the wiring,

wherein the tab electrode is connected to one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode,

wherein the wiring is provided along the tab electrode,

wherein one terminal of the wiring is electrically connected to the positive electrode, and

wherein the other terminal of the wiring is electrically connected to the positive electrode.
