Abstract: A secondary battery includes: an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly; and a cap assembly sealing the case and including a pair of current collector plates. The electrode assembly includes a first electrode plate having a first substrate tab extending in one direction, a second electrode plate having a second substrate tab extending in another direction, and a separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate. Each of the current collector plates is electrically connected to one of the first substrate tab and the second substrate tab. The current collector plates are laser-welded to the first substrate tab and the second substrate tab, respectively, and a laser welding direction is parallel to a metal processing direction of the corresponding current collector plate.

Abstract: A secondary battery having weldability between a current collector plate and an electrode uncoated portion by increasing an absorption rate of a laser beam irradiated onto the current collector plate. The secondary battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate having a first electrode-uncoated portion protruding to one side, a second electrode plate having a second electrode-uncoated portion protruding to an opposite side, and a separator between the first and second electrode plates; a case accommodating the electrode assembly and having a bottom surface and long and short side surfaces extending upward from the bottom surface; and a first current collector plate having a flat portion, parallel to a short side surface, that is laser-welded to the first electrode-uncoated portion, and a protrusion portion protruding from the flat portion toward the short side surface. A surface treatment part is on the flat portion.

Abstract: A junction box connected to a photoelectric converter and including a body with a diode. The body includes first parts that are parallel to each other, a second part connecting ends of the first parts, and a bridge connecting the first parts. The diode is in the bridge, and the second part is spaced from the bridge to form an opening.
