PROTECTION COVER FOR END CAP ASSEMBLY OF BATTERY CELL

摘要

An electrochemical storage cell (300) is provided. The cell (300) includes a core (200) having a cathode sheet (110), an anode sheet (105), and a separator sheet (115). The core (200) is located within a shell (305) having an open end. An end cap assembly (325) is provided to close the open end. A terminal in electrical communication with one of the cathode sheet and the anode sheet extends through the end cap (1605) from an interior portion of the electrochemical storage cell (300) to an external portion thereof. A protection cover (6105) that generally conforms to the outermost portions of the end cap assembly (325) is provided and includes a first cover half (6200a) having a first mating structure (6205a) and a second cover half (6200b) having a second mating structure (6205b) for engagement with the first mating structure (6205a). The first and second cover halves (6200a, 6200b) are adapted for assembly (325) with one another about the terminal.
