1. A rechargeable battery comprising:
a plurality of electrode assemblies including
a positive electrode,a negative electrode, anda separator provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, anda pair of electrode tabs protrude to both sides wherein the pair of electrode tabs comprises a positive electrode tab connected to the positive electrode and a negative electrode tab connected to the negative electrode; a case for receiving the plurality of electrode assemblies; a first current collecting plate which comprises a positive current collecting plate and a second current collecting plate which comprises a negative current collecting plate formed on both sides of the case, wherein the first current collecting plate and the second current collecting plate include a first insulator and a second insulator that are protruded inside the case, and a first conductor and a second conductor that are protruded inside the case; and a first insulation plate and a second insulation plate disposed between the plurality of electrode assemblies and the first current collecting plate and between the plurality of electrode assemblies and the second current collecting plate, wherein each of the pair of the electrode tabs passes through a first through hole and a second through hole formed in the first insulation plate and the second insulation plate, and wherein electrode tabs of a pair of neighboring electrode assemblies from among the plurality of electrode assemblies are bent in opposite directions to form an overlapped area where they are overlapped and connected, the overlapped area contacting the first insulator of the first current collecting plate or the second insulator of the second current collecting plate, and wherein at least one of the positive electrode tabs contacts the first conductor, and at least one of the negative electrode tabs contacts the second conductor. |
