Abstract

The disclosed secondary battery is capable of preventing a short-circuit pressure at which the safety vent is ruptured from being reduced due to deformation of the safety vent during assembly of the battery. The secondary battery of the present invention includes a can member accommodating an electrode assembly and a top cap assembly covering an opening of the can member. A safety vent is provided in the top cap assembly to discharge a gas when an inner pressure of the can member increases, wherein the safety vent includes a main body and a bending unit, in which an outer edge of the main body is bent, and wherein a buffering space is defined between the bending unit and the main body.
