A rechargeable battery is provided comprising at least one electrode assembly (110) having a first electrode (111), a second electrode (112) and a separator (113) interposed between the first and the second electrodes (111, 112), wherein the first electrode (111) comprises a first uncoated region (111c) and the second electrode (112) comprises a second uncoated region (112c), a case (120) for mounting the at least one electrode assembly (110) therein; and a cap plate (150) for covering an opening of the case (120). Further, a support plate (160) is provided between the electrode assembly (110) and the case (120), the support plate (160) including at least one conductive plate (161) electrically coupled to the first or second uncoated region (111c, 112c) of one of the at least one electrode assemblies (110), the at least one conductive plate (161) comprising at least one first portion (161 a), the first portion (161 a) having a height being smaller than the height of the first or second uncoated region (111c, 112c) the at least one conductive plate is coupled to. |
