A rechargeable battery includes an electrode assembly having a plurality of first electrodes each including a first coated region coated with a first active material and a first uncoated region having a first alignment opening and a second alignment opening, a plurality of second electrodes each including a second coated region coated with a second active material and a second uncoated region having a third alignment opening and a fourth alignment opening, a separator between each first coated region and each second coated region; and a case housing the electrode assembly, wherein the first alignment openings are substantially aligned with each other, the second alignment openings are substantially aligned with each other, the third alignment openings are substantially aligned with each other, and the fourth alignment openings are substantially aligned with each other.

Rechargeable battery

A rechargeable battery comprises an electrode assembly comprising an anode, a cathode, and a separator, a case for receiving the electrode assembly, and an electrode terminal electrically connected to the electrode assembly and drawn outside the case. The anode and the cathode each comprises an electrode uncoated region exposed past the separator and including a current collector at an edge. The electrode terminal comprises a terminal plate having a first terminal portion adhered to a bottom surface of the current collector and a second terminal portion drawn outside the case, and a combiner installed on the terminal plate to surround and adhere to a side surface and a top surface of the current collector.

A rechargeable battery comprises: an electrode assembly comprising a plurality of positive electrode plates, a plurality of negative electrode plates, and a plurality of separators; and a case enclosing the electrode assembly; wherein each separator in the plurality of separators comprises a central portion facing at least one of the positive and negative electrode plates, and an extended portion that extends past the positive and negative electrode plates, and wherein each of the extended portion comprises an adhered portion that is adhered to adjacent extended portions.
