A lithium rechargeable battery in which an anti-rotation groove is integrally formed with a lower recess of a safety vent at a lower surface of a cap plate, and an insulating plate and a terminal plate rest in the anti-rotation groove so that the terminal plate is prevented from rotating when a cap assembly is assembled is provided. In addition, instead of the anti-rotation groove, a resting recess is formed on a lower surface of the cap plate, and the insulating plate and the terminal plate rest in the resting recess, so that the terminal plate is prevented from rotating when the cap assembly is assembled.

Lithium rechargeable battery

A lithium rechargeable battery including an electrode assembly having a first and second electrodes wound together with a separator interposed between them, a can containing the electrode assembly, and a cap plate coupled to the top opening of the can. The cap plate includes an electrolyte injection hole and a rib formed adjacent to the electrolyte injection hole.

A lithium rechargeable battery includes an insulation case positioned on top of an electrode assembly where the insulation case has least one hole to improve the stability of the battery by evacuating gas that may be generated by the electrode assembly.

A lithium rechargeable battery includes an electrode assembly, a can containing the electrode assembly, a cap plate coupled to the top opening of the can and provided with a terminal through-hole, and an electrode pin inserted into the terminal through-hole. The electrode pin has a head shaped like a flat plate, a post extending from the lower surface of the head, and a protrusion formed along the edge of the upper surface of the head.

Lithium rechargeable battery having electrode pin

A cap assembly and a lithium secondary battery with the same, in which a shape of a safety vent of a cap plate is such that the safety vent is easily fracturable under low pressure even if the safety vent has a relatively large thickness, thereby improving reliability and safety of the lithium secondary battery. The cap assembly cap plate has a safety vent including at least one first directional weak component and at least one second directional weak component which is connected to the first directional weak component.
