    摘要: A battery disclosed herein includes a terminal. The terminal includes: a first conductive member; a second conductive member electrically connected to the first conductive member; a fastener mechanically securing the first conductive member and the second conductive member to each other; and a metal joint metal-joining the first conductive member and the second conductive member to each other. The metal joint includes a fused and solidified portion. The fused and solidified portion includes a first sub-portion formed in the first conductive member, and a second sub-portion formed in the second conductive member. When viewed in cross section, an area of the second sub-portion is 35% or less of an area of the first sub-portion.

    摘要: A battery of a preselected type advantageously has a beveled edge formed between a front-end surface and a lateral surface of the battery. In a battery charger, a slot has a cap formed with an interior channel for receiving a front-end portion of the preselected-type battery. The cap has a stopping member for stopping the preselected-type battery so as to receive recharging. Advantageously, the stopping member may be shaped to complement the beveled edge for seamlessly receiving the beveled edge when the preselected-type battery is inserted into the slot. A mismatch between the stopping member and a line edge of an unaccepted-type battery causes the stopping member to block the unaccepted-type battery from reaching deeper into the channel than the preselected-type battery when the unaccepted-type battery is inserted, disconnecting a positive charging terminal from the unaccepted-type battery to avoid the charger from accidentally recharging the unaccepted-type battery.

    摘要: A battery unit includes a housing assembly, an electrode assembly, a conductive plate, and a feedthrough assembly. The feedthrough assembly includes a first washer, a second washer, a conductive terminal, and a rivet. The housing assembly is provided with an opening for accommodating the feedthrough assembly. The first washer and the second washer are respectively disposed on an outer surface and an inner surface of the housing assembly. The conductive terminal is disposed on a side of the second washer facing away from the first washer. The rivet passes through the first washer, the opening, the second washer, and the conductive terminal, is electrically connected to the conductive terminal, and compresses the first washer and the second washer to seal the opening.
