摘要： The present invention relates to the field of battery cells, particularly to a pouch cell comprising a packaging seal, a heating element and a fault switch, wherein the fault switch will activate the heating element to generate heat to make the packaging seal delaminate when the inner space of the pouch cell reaches a predetermined pressure, such that the pouch cell vents. The mechanism and components of these venting concepts can be designed to be fully compatible with existing manufacturing methods and typical cell handling situations. The most favorable configuration has both vent device components outside the cell, with nothing passing through or even into the seal. Such a configuration has the advantage of having no impact on the seal integrity relative to a conventional pouch cell, is easy to manufacture, and has improved safety.
