Abstract
A rechargeable battery is disclosed. In one aspect, the battery includes an electrode assembly having a thickness and including a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The battery also includes a case accommodating the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly further includes a plurality of first electrode tabs protruding from the positive electrode and a plurality of second electrode tabs protruding from the negative electrode. The first electrode tabs have a width and are aligned in the thickness dimension of the electrode assembly. A distance TG between the first electrode tabs and the second electrode tabs satisfies the following equations: 1.2TW1<TG<6TW1 and TG>5SW1, where TW1 is the width of the first electrode tabs and SW1 is the minimum distance between the first electrode tabs and a lateral end of the electrode assembly.
