SECONDARY BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532979 titled 'SECONDARY BATTERY
The abstract describes a secondary battery with an electrode assembly, a case, a rivet terminal connected to the first electrode plate, and a vent plate connected to the second electrode plate.
- The secondary battery includes an electrode assembly with a first electrode plate, a separator, and a second electrode plate.
- The case houses the electrode assembly.
- A rivet terminal penetrates the case and is electrically connected to the first electrode plate.
- A vent plate seals the case and is directly electrically connected to the second electrode plate.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various portable electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. - It can also be applied in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
Problems Solved: - Provides a reliable and efficient power source for electronic devices. - Ensures safe operation with the vent plate for pressure release.
Benefits: - Improved battery performance and longevity. - Enhanced safety features for users and devices.
Commercial Applications: - The technology can be utilized by battery manufacturers to produce high-quality secondary batteries for consumer electronics and automotive industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the vent plate contribute to the safety of the battery?
The vent plate is directly electrically connected to the second electrode plate and helps release pressure in case of overcharging or overheating, preventing potential hazards.
2. What are the key advantages of using a rivet terminal in the battery design?
The rivet terminal provides a secure electrical connection to the first electrode plate, ensuring stable performance and reliability.
