Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a battery cell, a battery and an electrical apparatus, which can effectively improve the performance of batteries with low process complexity. The battery cell includes: at least two electrode assemblies; a lithium-supplementing apparatus arranged between two adjacent electrode assemblies in the at least two electrode assemblies; a shell configured to accommodate the at least two electrode assemblies, the shell including a first wall, and the first wall being provided with a lithium-supplementing electrode terminal; and a connecting element configured to electrically connect the lithium-supplementing apparatus with the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal.

Claims (26)

1 . A battery cell, comprising:

at least two electrode assemblies;

a lithium-supplementing apparatus arranged between two adjacent electrode assemblies in the at least two electrode assemblies;

a shell configured to accommodate the at least two electrode assemblies, the shell comprising a first wall, and the first wall being provided with a lithium-supplementing electrode terminal; and

a connecting element configured to electrically connect the lithium-supplementing apparatus with the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of each of the at least two electrode assemblies comprises a plane part , and the plane parts of the two adjacent electrode assemblies are opposite and connected; and

the lithium-supplementing apparatus and at least a part of the connecting element are arranged between the plane parts of the two adjacent electrode assemblies.

3 . The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the plane part is a side surface with a maximum area in each electrode assembly.

4 . The battery cell according to claim 2 , wherein the lithium-supplementing apparatus covers the plane part.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium-supplementing apparatus comprises a conductive assembly and a lithium-supplementing agent, and the lithium-supplementing agent is arranged on an inner side of the conductive assembly; and

the connecting element is configured to electrically connect the conductive assembly with the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 5 , wherein the material of the conductive assembly is plastic cement.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness of the lithium-supplementing agent is 0.001 mm to 4.9 mm.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting element comprises a terminal connecting part and a lead-out part connected to each other, the terminal connecting part is electrically connected to the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal, an end of the conductive assembly facing the connecting element is formed with an accommodating space, and the lead-out part is arranged in the accommodating space.

9 . The battery cell according to claim 8 , wherein in a width direction of the first wall, the terminal connecting part is arranged at a middle position of the first wall.

10 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first wall is a side surface of the shell.

11 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first wall is an end cover.

12 . The battery cell according to claim 11 , wherein the end cover is further provided with a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal; and

the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal is configured to be short-circuited with the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal when the lithium-supplementing apparatus supplements lithium to the battery cell.

13 . The battery cell according to claim 12 , wherein in a case where the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal is configured to be short-circuited with the negative electrode terminal when the lithium-supplementing apparatus supplements lithium to the battery cell, the lithium-supplementing electrode terminal is closer to the negative electrode terminal than the positive electrode terminal.

14 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium-supplementing apparatus is connected to the two adjacent electrode assemblies through a conductive adhesive.

15 . The battery cell according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium-supplementing apparatus is sheet-shaped.

16 . A battery, comprising:

the battery cell according to claim 1 ; and

a box body configured to accommodate the battery cell.

17 . An electrical apparatus, comprising the battery according to claim 16 , the battery being configured to provide electric energy.
