Abstract
A cylindrical cell includes a. a cylindrical housing enclosing an interior space and composed of a first and a second metal housing part, wherein the housing includes, at its axial ends, a first planar end face and a second planar end face connected to one another by an annular casing, b. a positive electrode and a negative electrode, at least one of which can intercalate and/or deintercalate lithium ions, wherein the positive electrode electrically connects to the first housing part directly or via a separate electrical conductor, and the negative electrode electrically connects to the second housing part directly or via a separate electrical conductor, c. a first contact lug configured as a sheet-metal part that is welded onto the first end face and which has a planar section extending in a plane parallel to the first end face, and d. a second contact lug configured as a sheet-metal part that is welded onto the second end face and has a planar subsection extending in a plane parallel to the second end face and has a subsection angled away from the plane and extends as far as into the plane of the planar section, wherein the angled-away subsection includes an expansion section in which the second contact lug expands in the main direction of extent in a targeted and predictable manner under a defined tensile loading in its main direction of extent.
