A rechargeable battery includes a case having an electrode assembly, a cap plate to seal an opening of the case, and an electrode terminal in the cap plate. The electrode terminal includes a plate terminal at an upper area and a bent plate to electrically couple the plate terminal to the cap plate. The bent plate sets a gap between the plate terminal and the cap plate, and provides a current path from the plate terminal to the cap plate having a length greater than an interval between the plate terminal and the cap plate.
