A jelly-roll type battery unit, a winding method thereof and a lithium secondary battery comprising the battery unit include a first electrode plate having a first electrode current collector with a first electrode tab and a first electrode active material layer coated on at least one surface of the first electrode current collector, a second electrode plate having a second electrode current collector with a second electrode tab and a second electrode active material layer coated on at least one surface of the second electrode current collector, and a separator that is interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, wherein the electrode tab is incorporated into the electrode current collector in an area of either the first or the second electrode plate where the corresponding electrode active material layer is not coated. Since an electrode tab is formed by cutting a portion of an electrode current collector and folding upward, deformation of a jelly-roll type battery unit is prevented.

The electrode tab is incorporated into the electrode current collector in an area of either first or second electrode plate where the corresponding electrode active material layer is not coated. The electrode tab is cut widthwise with respect to the electrode current collector from a center area of the electrode current collector and folded, and an insulating tape is adhered to either surface of the electrode tab.

A secondary battery includes an electrode unit having a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, a separator interposed therebetween, and first and second electrode tabs respectively extending from the first and second electrode plates, a can adapted to accommodate the electrode unit and an electrolytic solution, and a cap plate adapted to seal the can and having an electrolytic solution inlet, wherein the electrolytic solution inlet has an area on one surface of the cap plate different from that on another surface of the cap plate.

Secondary battery having an enlarged electrolytic solution inlet

A lithium secondary battery includes a can made of a conductive metal. The can houses an electrode unit having positive and negative electrode plates with a separator interposed therebetween with an electrolytic solution. An upper opening of the can is sealed by a cap assembly. A bottom plate is welded to an outer bottom surface of the can, and a lead plate having a first end welded to the outer bottom surface of the can and a second end connected to a safety device so that the can is electrically connected to the safety device.

Lithium secondary battery with safety device

Disclosed is a negative active material composition for a rechargeable lithium battery, a method of producing a negative electrode for a rechargeable lithium battery using the same, and a rechargeable lithium battery using the same.
