METAL CAN BATTERY WITH STEPPED ENCLOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240213631 titled 'METAL CAN BATTERY WITH STEPPED ENCLOSURE
The abstract describes a patent application for a can battery cell, which consists of a battery cell core housed in a rigid enclosure made of metal or other rigid material. The front face of the enclosure includes an anode tab and a cathode tab, with a circuit module electrically coupled to them and overlying a portion of the front face. One of the tabs is electrically coupled to the battery enclosure, while the other is insulated from it. The front face also features a protrusion portion that forms a step-like structure.
