Stacked battery with electrode having break portion

摘要

The stacked battery includes a negative electrode (46) and a positive electrode (41). The negative electrode has a negative electrode main portion (50) and a negative electrode lead (52). The positive electrode has a positive electrode main portion (45) and a positive electrode lead (51). The negative electrode main portion and the positive electrode main portion are stacked in a thickness direction with the negative electrode lead and the positive electrode lead extending in different directions as viewed from above. The positive electrode lead is fixed to a positive electrode case. In the positive electrode lead, a break place (X) is provided outside the negative electrode main portion as viewed from above when the negative electrode and the positive electrode are placed on top of each other. The break place (X) is broken when a shock is applied to the electrodes.

主权项

1. A stacked battery comprising:
a plate-like first electrode; a plate-like second electrode having a polarity different from that of the first electrode; and a separator provided between the first and second electrodes, wherein the first and second electrodes each have a main portion, and a connection portion extending outward from the main portion as viewed from above, and the main portions of the first and second electrodes are stacked in a thickness direction, the separator having a separator main portion and a separator connection portion, the separator main portion accommodating the main portion of the first electrode, the separator connection portion contacting the connection portion of the first electrode, the connection portion of the first electrode is fixed to a fixing member, a break portion that is to be broken when a shock is applied to the first and second electrodes is provided in the connection portion of the first electrode at a position outside the main portion of the second electrode as viewed from above when the first and second electrodes are placed on top of each other, an outer shape of the main portion of the second electrode is larger than an outer shape of the main portion of the first electrode, as viewed from above, an outer circumference of the main portion of the second electrode is opposed to an outer circumference of the separator main portion, the fixing member includes an outer case having an opening and a seal case fitted with the opening, the first and second electrodes are accommodated in a space formed between the outer case and the seal case, and the first electrode is electrically connected via the connection portion of the first electrode to the outer case or the seal case.
