  • Publication number: 20180254439
    Abstract: A button cell on a lithium-ion basis includes a housing sealed in a fluid-tight fashion and composed of a positively-poled metallic housing half and a negatively-poled metallic housing half, which halves are separated from one another by an electrically-insulating seal. A positive electrode and a negative electrode are arranged inside the housing. The positive electrode is in electrical contact with the positively-poled housing half, and the negative electrode is in electrical contact with the negatively-poled housing half. An ion-conductive separator is arranged between the electrodes. The positive electrode includes a metallic current collector. A porous three-dimensional structure whose pores are filled with a suitable electrochemically-active material serves as such a current collector. During the manufacturing of the button cell, the structure is connected to the positively-poled housing half by welding.

  • Patent number: 9614247
    Abstract: A button cell has a winding arranged in the cup-shaped, positive-polarity housing half such that one of the flat end sides points in the direction of the cup base, the circumferential outer side thereof bears against the circumferential cup wall and the outer side together with the cup wall forms a clamping zone in which the first current output conductor is clamped.
