  • Publication number: 20170279087
    Abstract: A flat battery (1) includes a positive electrode can (10), a negative electrode can (20), a positive electrode material (41), a negative electrode material (42), and a positive electrode ring (44) provided on an inner surface of a bottom (11) of the positive electrode can (10) to hold one of the positive electrode material (41) and the negative electrode material (42). The positive electrode ring (44) has a side wall (44a) and a flange (44b) that extends outward to overlap an open end of a circumferential wall (22) of the negative electrode can (20). The flange (44b) is placed between the open end of the circumferential wall (22) of the negative electrode can (20) and the inner surface of the bottom (11) of the positive electrode can (10).

  • Patent number: 7384708
    Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte battery of the present invention includes a non-aqueous electrolyte containing a lithium salt, a cyclic sultone derivative, and an acid anhydride, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte contains the cyclic sultone derivative in an amount of 0.3 to 3% by mass and the non-aqueous electrolyte contains the acid anhydride in an amount of 0.3 to 3% by mass. Furthermore, the non-aqueous electrolyte battery includes at least one selected from a cyclic sultone derivative and an acid anhydride, and an electrolyte salt. The electrolyte salt contains lithium salt A and lithium salt B. The lithium salt A is at least one selected from LiBF4, LiPF6, LiAsF6, and LiSbF6, and the lithium salt B is a lithium salt other than the lithium salt A. The electrolyte contains the lithium salt A in an amount of 2 mol % or more.

  • Patent number: 5354629
    Abstract: The nonaqueous electrolyte battery of this invention is provided with a spiral electrode unit comprising a separator laminated between a cathode and an anode rolled into a spiral shape having anode around the outer perimeter. An anode terminal tab disconnects from the outermost one circumference of anode residue after discharge to prevent residual anode deposition on the cathode when power is overdrawn.
