摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for evaluating an internal short circuit of a battery. An object of the invention is to provide an apparatus capable of evaluating whether or not an internal short circuit has occurred in an electrode group in consideration of pressure applied to the electrode group. An internal short circuit evaluation apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention includes at least a pressure member capable of operating independently and applying pressure to at least a predetermined position of the surface of the electrode group, and a short-circuiting member that is pressed into the predetermined position. An internal short circuit evaluation apparatus according to another embodiment of the invention includes a pressure member having an integrated short-circuiting member.

Disclosed is a battery 10 including: an electrode group including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator; an electrolyte; and a battery container accommodating the electrode group and the electrolyte. The battery container includes an accommodating portion 16 having an opening, and a lid sealing the opening of the accommodating portion 16. The battery container includes a liquid-retaining portion 16a retaining the electrolyte therein below the liquid surface of the electrolyte, and a gas-retaining portion 16b retaining gas therein above the liquid surface of the electrolyte. The liquid-retaining portion 16a of the side portion of the battery container is thinner than the gas-retaining portion 16b of the battery container. This suppresses scattering of fragments etc. in the event of rupture of a secondary battery due to an increase in the internal pressure. The safety of the secondary battery is thus increased.
