Original Abstract Submitted
A battery comprising a housing, a battery cell, a thermal strain elastic component, and an electric-conductor is provided. The battery cell, the thermal strain elastic component, and the electric-conductor are disposed inside the housing. When a temperature of the battery cell is less than a threshold, the electric-conductor is electrically connected to the housing. When the temperature of the battery cell is greater than or equal to the threshold, the thermal strain elastic component is deformed, so that the electric-conductor is separated from the housing. An overheat structure formed by the housing, the battery cell, the thermal strain elastic component, and the electric-conductor is disposed at a tab inside the housing. A heat transfer path between the foregoing protection structure and a region with a highest temperature in the battery is short, and the foregoing protection structure is directly connected to a current collector in the battery cell.
