An electrode assembly of a secondary battery and a method of fabricating the electrode assembly of the secondary battery. An electrode assembly of a secondary battery includes a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator between the first and second electrode plates, the first electrode plate including a first electrode collector and a first electrode tab coupled thereto, and the second electrode plate including a second electrode collector and a second electrode tab coupled thereto; and a protective member surrounding an end of one of the first and second electrode tabs, and a portion of the one of the first and second electrode tabs is exposed from the protective member and is coupled to a non-coating portion of a respective one of the first and second electrode plates.

Secondary battery and method of fabricating secondary battery

An electrode assembly and a secondary battery having the same are disclosed. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode active material and a positive electrode tab. The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode active material and a negative electrode tab. The separator is disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate.

Electrode assembly having electrode plate with cutoff portion and rechargeable battery having the same

A rechargeable battery and its fabrication method prevents electrical shorts between the electrode plates by decreasing shrinkage of the separator, the battery includes: an electrode assembly including: a wound electrode jelly roll having a first electrode plate with a first electrode tab attached thereto, a second electrode plate with a second electrode tab attached thereto and a separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, and an upper tape arranged to surround an upper end of the electrode jelly roll where the first electrode tab and second electrode tab extend outward therefrom; a case having an upper end opening arranged to receive the electrode assembly and an electrolyte; and a cap assembly arranged to seal the upper end opening of the case after the electrode assembly has been received in the case; the upper tape is attached to the upper end of the electrode jelly roll and surrounds the separator adjacent to an end of an innermost electrode plate of the first and second electrode plates.
