Electrode assembly and secondary battery having the same

摘要

A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having a first electrode plate, second electrode plate and separator between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate wound such that the separator defines an inner circumference of the electrode assembly. A can is provided for receiving the electrode assembly through a can opening and a cap assembly is provided for covering the can opening. An electrically conductive plate is on the inner circumference of the electrode assembly.
