A pouch-type lithium secondary battery including: a battery unit comprising a positive electrode plate, a separator, and a negative electrode plate, wherein the separator is disposed between the positive and negative electrode plates; electrode tabs extending from each of the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery unit, respectively; a case having a space to accommodate the battery unit and sealing surfaces formed along the periphery of the space, wherein the case is sealed at the sealing surfaces by thermal fusion; and a protection circuit boardelectrically connected to the electrode tabs. The protection circuit board is disposed parallel to an outer wall of the case. Since the electrode tabs are bent in an upright position with respect to the sealing surfaces, and the protection circuit board electrically connected to the bent electrode tabs is disposed between the outer wall of the case and the electrode tabs, the size of the sealing surfaces of the case can be minimized.

Pouch-type lithium secondary battery and fabrication method thereof

A pouch-type lithium secondary battery including a battery unit having a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator between the positive and negative electrode plates; electrode tabs extending from each of the positive and negative electrode plates of the battery unit, respectively; a case having a space to accommodate the battery unit; a sealing surface along the periphery of the space; and a protection circuit board electrically connected to the electrode tabs, wherein portions of each of the electrode tabs extend outside the case, and are bent in an upright position with respect to a plane of the sealing surface.

A lithium rechargeable battery includes a positive electrode that intercalates and deintercalates lithium and a negative electrode that intercalates and deintercalates lithium and has a current collector including Cu or a Cu alloy. In addition, the battery includes a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte that transfers lithium ions.

Lithium rechargeable battery and lithium rechargeable battery pack
