Abstract:
An electrochemical storage cell is disclosed which includes at least one cathode sheet, at least one anode sheet and at least one separator sheet combined to make a core. The core is housed within a rectangular shell with four sides and two ends, sealed with an air-tight seal. The cell further includes a blow out vent in at least one of the two ends of the shell. This blow out vent is adapted to open and release excess pressure above a predetermined level to thereby prevent catastrophic rupture of the shell.
Abstract:
An electrochemical storage cell (300) is provided. The cell (300) includes a core (200) having a cathode sheet (110), an anode sheet (105), and a separator sheet (115). The core (200) is located within a shell (305) having an open end. An end cap assembly (325) is provided to close the open end. A terminal in electrical communication with one of the cathode sheet and the anode sheet extends through the end cap (1605) from an interior portion of the electrochemical storage cell (300) to an external portion thereof. A protection cover (6105) that generally conforms to the outermost portions of the end cap assembly (325) is provided and includes a first cover half (6200a) having a first mating structure (6205a) and a second cover half (6200b) having a second mating structure (6205b) for engagement with the first mating structure (6205a). The first and second cover halves (6200a, 6200b) are adapted for assembly (325) with one another about the terminal.

The present invention discloses a battery pack, which comprises a plurality of unit cells (1) each of which has two electrode terminals (2 and 3), and which are connected in series or in parallel by connecting an electrode terminal (2 or 3) of a unit cell (1) to an electrode terminal (3 or 2) of an adjacent unit cell (1), characterized in that, the electrode terminals (2 and 3) each is formed in a sheet shape, and the connection between the electrode terminals (2 and 3) is the binding of two sheets. According to the present invention, the battery pack has a low internal resistance, light weight, and reliable connection.
Abstract:
A safety valve for battery has a valve body (1) and a valve core (2). The valve body (1) is fixed on a cover plate (4) of a battery and covers a discharging hole (9) in the cover plate (4) of the battery. The valve body (1) is formed with an exhaust opening (3) which is communicated with an internal space of the valve body (1). The valve core (2) is elastically held between a top cover (11) of the valve body (1) and the cover plate (4) of the battery. A plurality of columns (6) are arranged at intervals along a circumference of a gap between a side wall of the valve core (2) and an inner wall of the valve body (1). A cavity defined by every two adjacent columns (6), the side wall of the valve core (2) and the inner wall of the valve body (1) forms as a side exhaust slot (7) which is communicated with the exhaust opening (3) in the valve body (1).
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a heat dissipating device for a battery pack which comprises a heat pipe and a heat collecting plate comprising a bottom heat collecting plate and an upper heat collecting plate each having a hole therein, wherein two ends of the heat pipe are inserted respectively into the holes in the bottom heat collecting plate and the upper heat collecting plate. A battery using the heat dissipating device is also disclosed. During the operation of the heat dissipating device, since the heat generated by the cells can be colleted in the upper heat collecting plate, then transmitted to the bottom heat collecting plate through the heat pipe, and finally dissipated outwardly by the bottom heat collecting plate, the heat generated by cells can be dissipated rapidly and efficiently.
Abstract:
A battery (100), including: a housing (1) and a number of accommodating cavities (11) provided in the housing (1). Two adjacent accommodating cavities (11) are separated by a partition plate (12). An electrode core assembly (2) is arranged in each of the accommodating cavities (11). A number of electrode core assemblies (2) are sequentially arranged along a first direction and connected in series. A spacer (Q1) is arranged between an end of the electrode core assembly (2) along the first direction and the partition plate (12).
Abstract:
A battery includes a shell, a core received in the shell and having first and second electrode tabs, and first and second protection components.
