Abstract: A connection structure for connecting a tab of a cell with a cover board comprising a tab and a cover board is provided. An insulating spacer and an elastic conductive ring are provided at an end of the cell. The tab passes through an orifice of the insulting spacer and then is electrically connected with the elastic conductive ring which is electrically connected with the cover board. An elastic pressing disc may be further provided on the elastic conductive ring. The elastic conductive ring is electrically connected with the cover board via the elastic pressing disc. A staple may be further provided on the elastic pressing disc and the elastic conductive ring. The staple has a slot on one end for matching with an elastic hook provided on the insulating spacer.

Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery comprising a core (7), tabs (4) protruding from an end of the core (7), a tab lead-out device placed at the end of the core (7), and a cover plate (1). The tab lead-out device includes an insulating layer (6) adjacent to the end of the core (7) and a conductive layer (5) distant from the end of the core (7). The tabs (4) are electrically connected to the conductive layer (5). The conductive layer (5) is electrically connected to the cover plate (1). The secondary battery further comprises a connector and a pad (3) stacked between the conductive layer (5) of the tab lead-out device and the cover plate (1). The tabs (4) are compacted between the pad (3) and the conductive layer (5) of the tab lead-out device by the connector.
