A secondary battery is disclosed. In one aspect, the secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly and a lead member extending from the electrode assembly to outside of the case. The secondary battery also includes an insulation member at least partially covering the lead member, the insulation member having an exterior portion that is located outside the case and an interior portion that is located inside the case, wherein the interior portion has a first thickness, and wherein at least part of the exterior portion has a second thickness less than the first thickness. The secondary battery may have a compact structure, and insulation characteristics of the secondary battery may be improved.

Secondary battery including insulation member having multiple thicknesses

A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, a battery case configured to house the electrode assembly and an electrolyte, a lead terminal extending from a coupling section with the electrode assembly, through the battery case and protrudes outside the battery case, and an adhesive layer on the lead terminal having adhesion depending on a reaction of the adhesive layer to the electrolyte. The secondary battery has an improved structure so that an internal short circuit is prevented and stability of the secondary battery is improved.

Secondary battery

A secondary battery includes: a wound electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate; a pouch accommodating the electrode assembly; and; an adhesive tape on an outer surface of the electrode assembly. The adhesive having adhesiveness through reaction with an electrolyte.

A secondary battery is disclosed. In one aspect, the secondary battery includes an electrode assembly and a case comprising an accommodation region configured to accommodate the electrode assembly. The accommodation region has a first width in a center area thereof and a second width in opposing ends thereof, and wherein the second width is greater than the first width. When the case configured to accommodate the electrode assembly is formed, formation errors caused by concentration of stress such as tearing of a raw material or thickness deviations may be prevented.

A secondary battery includes: an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly, and an electrode tab electrically connected to the electrode assembly and extending from inside of the electrode assembly to outside of the case. The electrode tab has different thicknesses at the inside of the electrode assembly and the outside of the electrode assembly.

A rechargeable battery includes an electrode assembly, a pouch accommodating the electrode assembly, a first electrode tab electrically connected to the electrode assembly, the first electrode tab including a protruding portion that protrudes outwardly from a first surface of the electrode assembly so as to be exposed to the outside of the pouch and a parallel portion that extends along the first surface of the electrode assembly, and a fixing tape that attaches and fixes the first electrode tab to the first surface of the electrode assembly. The fixing tape adheres to cover the parallel portion of the first electrode tab bent along the first surface of the electrode assembly and the first surface of the electrode assembly.
