Abstract: A pouch type lithium rechargeable battery with improved stability comprises an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, a pouch case having a cavity for housing the electrode assembly therein, a protective circuit module for controlling charge/discharge of the electrode assembly, and a connection lead that couples the protective circuit module with the electrode assembly while shutting off a current being applied to the electrode assembly when a temperature of the electrode assembly rises abnormally.

Abstract: A multi-air conditioner comprising: a plurality of indoor units for exchanging the heat with indoor air; a plurality of outdoor units, each outdoor unit having an outdoor heat exchanger for exchanging the heat and a compressor for compressing a fluid; a connecting pipe for connecting the indoor units with the outdoor units; and a pressure equalizing pipe for communicating the outdoor heat exchanger of one outdoor unit with the compressor of at least one other outdoor unit, so that the multi-air conditioner is capable of improving stability, reliability and efficiency of a system by equalizing the low pressure between the indoor units in heating and equalizing the high pressure between the outdoor units in cooling.
