A rechargeable battery includes a plurality of electrode assemblies each having a first planar surface and a second planar surface substantially opposite to the first planar surface; a case housing the electrode assemblies; and a safety member having a first side plate that contacts the first planar surface of a first electrode assembly of the plurality of electrode assemblies, wherein the first electrode assembly is located at a periphery of the electrode assemblies, a second side plate that contacts the second planar surface of the first electrode assembly, and a connector electrically connecting the first side plate and the second side plate to each other, wherein the safety member is electrically coupled to the first electrode. |
