  • Publication number: 20240145755
    Abstract: A central tube assembly for a battery, a battery, and a manufacturing method of a central tube assembly for a battery is provided. The central tube assembly for a battery comprises: a central tube and at least one battery center pin; the battery center pins are provided on the outer periphery of the central tube, each battery center pin is sleeved on the central tube to form the central tube assembly, and the battery center pins are electrically insulated from the central tube. The central tube assembly for a battery of the present disclosure overcomes the situation in the related art that the central tube is separated from the battery center pins, reduces a welding process during battery manufacturing, and greatly enhances the sealing performance of the battery.
