CYLINDRICAL RECHARGEABLE BATTERY WITH IMPROVED STABILITY

摘要

Provided is a cylindrical battery in which an electrode assembly fabricated by rolling a cathode/separator/anode and an electrolyte are provided in a cylindrical can, wherein a cap assembly mounted on the opening top of the cylindrical can comprises: a safety vent provided with a predetermined notch, to allow breakage due to high-pressure gas of the battery, a current interruptive device to interrupt current, welded to the bottom of the safety vent, and a gasket for the current interruptive device to surround the periphery of the current interruptive device, wherein the current interruptive device comprises two or more through holes to allow exhaustion of gas, wherein the through holes have a size of 20 to 50% with respect to the total area of the current interruptive device.
