A rechargeable battery is disclosed comprising an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator interposed between the first and second electrodes, a first current collector mechanically and electrically coupled to the first electrode, a case for mounting the electrode assembly and the first current collector therein, a cap plate for closing an opening in the case, a first terminal protruding through the cap plate and being electrically coupled to the first current collector. A first separating member is provided electrically insulating and located between the first current collector and the case, the first separating member comprising a first body portion extending along a length of the first current collector in the region where the first current collector is mechanically coupled to the first electrode, and a first protrusion portion extending away from the first body portion and being fixed between the first current collector and the cap plate. |
