BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18199714 titled 'BATTERY

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a battery that includes an electrode body, a current collector terminal, and a laminate film. The current collector terminal is located on a side surface of the electrode body and is covered by the laminate film. The terminal has three surfaces and a first connecting surface. The boundary between the third surface and the first connecting surface is set to B, and the boundary between the first connecting surface and the second surface is also set to B. The B is located inside the B in the thickness direction.

• The battery includes an electrode body, current collector terminal, and laminate film.
• The current collector terminal has three surfaces and a first connecting surface.
• The boundary between the third surface and the first connecting surface is set to B, and the boundary between the first connecting surface and the second surface is also set to B.
• The B is located inside the B in the thickness direction.
• The laminate film covers the third surface and the first connecting surface.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Batteries for electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
• Batteries for electric vehicles.
• Batteries for renewable energy storage systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Improved protection of the current collector terminal.
• Enhanced durability and lifespan of the battery.
• Reduced risk of short circuits or damage to the electrode body.

Benefits of this technology:

• Increased safety and reliability of the battery.
• Improved performance and efficiency.
• Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a battery including an electrode body, a current collector terminal disposed on a side surface of the electrode body, and a laminate film covering the electrode body and the current collector terminal. The current collector terminal has a first surface opposed to the electrode body, a second surface opposed to the first surface, a third surface extending from an outer edge of the first surface toward the second surface side, and a first connecting surface connecting the third surface and the second surface. When the battery is viewed in the thickness direction, the boundary between the third surface and the first connecting surface is set to B, and the boundary between the first connecting surface and the second surface is set to B, the Bis located inside the Bin the thickness direction. The laminate film covers the third surface and the first connecting surface.
