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.
