SECONDARY BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17970253 titled 'SECONDARY BATTERY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a secondary battery with a compact structure. The battery consists of exterior bodies that form a quadrilateral shape in a plan view. Inside these bodies, there is an electrode body. The quadrilateral shape has cutout parts on two opposite sides. One cutout part houses a cathode terminal, while the other cutout part houses an anode terminal.

  • The secondary battery has a compact structure that reduces the required space.
  • The battery is designed with exterior bodies forming a quadrilateral shape in a plan view.
  • It includes cutout parts on two opposite sides of the quadrilateral shape.
  • One cutout part houses a cathode terminal, and the other cutout part houses an anode terminal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Portable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
  • Electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles.
  • Energy storage systems for renewable energy sources.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reduces the space required for the secondary battery, allowing for more compact device designs.
  • Provides a structure that efficiently houses the electrode body and terminals.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables the development of smaller and lighter electronic devices.
  • Improves the energy density and performance of secondary batteries.
  • Enhances the overall efficiency and functionality of portable devices and electric vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a secondary battery having a structure that can reduce a space for the secondary battery. The secondary battery includes: exterior bodies that look a quadrilateral as a whole in a plan view; an electrode body that is housed in the exterior bodies; cutout parts at respective two sides among the sides of the quadrilateral, the two sides being opposite to each other; a cathode terminal disposed in one of the cutout parts; and an anode terminal disposed in another one of the cutout parts.
