Abstract:
Electrochemical device and method. The electrochemical device has an electrochemical module and an enclosure configured to enclose the electrochemical module. The enclosure has an electrically conductive first housing portion forming a first rim and an electrically conductive second housing portion forming a second rim, the first housing portion and the second housing portion, when the first rim of the first housing portion substantially abuts the second rim of the second housing portion, forming, at least in part, a volume configured to enclose the electrochemical device. The enclosure further has a substantially non-conductive grommet positioned between the first rim and the second rim, and a crimp ring engaging the first rim and the second rim, the crimp ring being configured to secure the first housing portion with respect to the second housing portion. The grommet is further positioned between the crimp ring and the first rim and the second rim.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a coin battery including: a cylindrical battery can having a bottom portion, and a first side wall rising from the periphery of the bottom portion; a sealing plate having a top portion, and a second side wall extending from the periphery of the top portion along the inner side of the first side wall; a gasket interposed and compressed between the first side wall and the second side wall; and a power generation element sealed with the battery can and the sealing plate. In order to improve the battery capacity while ensuring leakage resistance, the second side wall is provided with a bulging portion bulging outward, and a part of the power generation element is disposed inside the bulging portion. The negative electrode is preferably in contact with the inner side of the bulging portion.
Abstract:
In a lithium ion secondary battery including a flat-plate electrode assembly which is configured by stacking the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode in the thickness direction thereof, each of the positive electrode and the negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material layer. Each of the current collector includes a substantially rectangular current collector body, a heat radiating portion, and a lead portion, and the heat radiating portions are projected toward the outside of the electrode assembly so as not to overlap with each other in the thickness direction of the electrode assembly. In this way, heat caused inside the lithium ion secondary battery can be diffused efficiently to the outside, and safety of the lithium ion secondary battery can be further increased, without complicating the battery structure and decreasing mechanical strength of the battery.
Abstract:
An electrochemical device comprising alternating layers of positive and negative electrodes separated from each other by separator layers. The electrode layers extend beyond the periphery of the separator layers providing superior contact between the electrodes and battery terminals, eliminating the need for welding the electrode to the terminal. Electrical resistance within the battery is decreased and thermal conductivity of the cell is increased allowing for superior heat removal from the battery and increased efficiency. Increased internal pressure within the battery can be alleviated without damaging or removing the battery from service while keeping the contents of the battery sealed off from the atmosphere by a pressure release system. Nonoperative cells within a battery assembly can also be removed from service by shorting the nonoperative cell thus decreasing battery life.

In an electricity storage device buried with a storage battery accommodated in a housing, it is aimed to prevent a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal from being corroded even upon condensation in the housing.An electricity storage device of the present invention is provided with a storage battery 4 including a positive electrode terminal 7 and a negative electrode terminal 8 and a housing 5 for accommodating this storage battery 4 and is so constructed as to satisfy at least one of a first condition of maintaining the potential of the negative electrode terminal 8 lower than a ground surface potential and a second condition of maintaining the potential of the positive electrode terminal 7 higher than the ground surface potential. Alternatively, at least one of the positive electrode terminal 7 and the negative electrode terminal 8 is arranged to face downward.

Abstract:
After a large thin sheet (17) has been gripped in a registered state by a plurality of chuck tools (21) and transported in the X direction to a control start position, Y direction movement control for moving the sheet reciprocally by a prescribed movement pitch in the Y direction which is perpendicular to the X direction, and X direction movement control for moving the sheet by a prescribed movement pitch in the X direction each time it has been moved in either Y direction, are repeated in alternate fashion, and every other punching location (18) of a plurality of punching locations in the Y direction on the large thin sheet (17) are successively registered in position with respect to punching tools (23) and the plurality of alternate punching locations (18) in the Y direction of the large thin sheet (17) are then punched out simultaneously.
Abstract:
The instant specification discloses a flat battery constituted by sealing a power generation element with: a case that works as one electrode terminal; a sealing plate that works as the other electrode terminal and has a flat central section projected outward and a flat peripheral section extending substantially parallel to the flat central section; and a gasket that insulates the case from the sealing plate, characterized in that the peripheral section of the sealing plate has an outer circumferential part being bent, or the case has a turned edge provided to make the peripheral section of the sealing plate fitted therein via the gasket and to partly press the gasket. The flat battery of the present invention having improvement in shape of the sealing plate and/or the case is sufficiently thin and exerts the effects of high leakage resistance and excellent mass productivity.
