Abstract:
A releasing pressure and a pressure releasing position, when enclosing films are expanded by gas produced at an abnormal time, are easily and positively configured. A film-enclosed battery (1) has a battery element (2) and two enclosing films (4, 5) for sealing the battery element (2). The enclosing films (4, 5) include heat-sealable resin layers and air-impermeable layers, and the heat-sealable resin layers and air-impermeable layers, and the heat-sealable resin layers that are face each other hold the battery element (2) and seal the battery element (2) when their peripheral edges are thermally fused. A cross-linking structure (8) formed by cross-linking heat-sealable resin layer is formed in one of the enclosing films (4, 5) so that a region in part of a heat-sealed area (6) has a position exposed to a battery element housing unit and another portion in contact with outside air.
Abstract:
A stacked battery includes a square battery element in which a tabular positive electrode, a separator and a tabular negative electrode are laminated, wherein: one side of the battery element is a terminal connection section pulled-out surface, which is provided on both the positive and negative electrodes and where a plate-like positive-electrode terminal connection section and a plate-like negative-electrode terminal connection are both pulled out; projection surfaces, which are generated by vertically projecting the positive-electrode terminal connection section and the negative-electrode terminal connection section onto surfaces extending from the positive and negative electrodes, do not cross each other; a surface of the positive electrode and a surface of the negative electrode, which are facing each other, are different in area; each electrode is disposed so that an entire projection portion, which is generated by projecting the small-area electrode onto a surface of a large-area electrode that faces the small-area electrode, is positioned on the large-area electrode; on a separator, a bumping section is provided to limit movements of positive and negative electrodes as a positive-electrode end surface and a negative-electrode end surface hit the bumping section; and as for the bumping section, separators are joined by a crease or joining section of adjacent separators among separators disposed on electrode surfaces.
Abstract:
A joint section where the clad body films (2a, 2b) of a film-clad battery (1) are thermally fused together is formed with a flat surface (6’) having thickness (t1) and a groove (6) having thickness (t2). The groove (6) serves to reduce the projection area of the film-clad battery (1) by folding a side (2c) toward a receiving section (2a1) with the groove (6) serving as an edge, and the groove (6) is made thinner than the flat surface (6’) by Δt=t1-t2. Therefore, the elongation of clad body films (2a, 2b) produced on the outer side (6a) is reduced as compared with the case of folding the portion with thickness (t1).
Abstract:
A coated-with-film cell (1) includes a cell element (6) and laminate films (3, 4) for sealing the cell element (6). Each of the laminate films (3, 4) consists of a thermally melting/attaching resin layer and a metal thin film layer. The thermally melting/attaching resin layers are arranged inside when sandwiching the cell element (6) by the films, and the sealing regions (3a, 4a) of the peripheral portion are thermally melted/attached, thereby sealing the cell element (6). The regions of the laminate films (3, 4) excluding the sealing regions (3a, 4a) are electronic ray-irradiated regions (3b, 4b) which have been subjected to irradiation of electronic rays. In the electronic ray-irradiated regions (3b, 4b), a bridge structure is formed in the thermally melting/attaching layers by the irradiation of electronic rays.
