Abstract

A button cell includes a housing and a cover plate assembly, the housing including a bottom wall and an annular side wall integrally formed with the bottom wall, the cover plate assembly including a head cover, a conductive member and a conductive covering member. The middle area of the head cover has a through hole, and the conductive member covers the through hole and is connected with the head cover in an insulated manner; the outer edge of the head cover is welded with the top end of the side wall to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating an electrode assembly and electrolyte; the conductive member has a liquid injection port for injecting electrolyte into the accommodating cavity, and the conductive covering member covers the liquid injection port and is electrically connected with the conductive member. An electronic equipment includes an electronic equipment body and the button cell.
