Disclosed herein is a battery cell having an electrode assembly mounted in a battery case, the battery cell including an electrode assembly configured to have a stepped structure in which two or more electrodes or unit cells have different planar sizes and a battery case, wherein a receiving part of the battery case is provided on the inner surface thereof with at least one protrusion protruding toward the electrode assembly.

Battery cell including battery case having protrusion corresponding to stepped electrode assembly

Disclosed herein is a battery cell configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly including a separator disposed between a cathode and an anode is mounted in a battery case, wherein the battery case includes an upper case and a lower case, the upper case and/or the lower case being provided with a receiving part, in which the electrode assembly is mounted, the electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrodes or unit cells stacked in a height direction on the basis of a plane, two or more of the electrodes or the unit cells having different planar sizes, and the receiving part of the battery case is provided with stair-like steps corresponding to an external appearance of the electrode assembly.

Battery cell of stair-like structure

Disclosed herein is an electrode assembly mounted in a battery case of a secondary battery. The electrode assembly is configured to have a structure in which a cathode and an anode are stacked in a state in which a separator plate is disposed between the cathode and the anode. The electrode assembly includes an even number of unit cells, each of the unit cells having a structure in which the uppermost electrode plate and the lowermost electrode plate have the same polarity. The electrode assembly has a stair-like structure.
