  • Patent number: 10535859
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pouch-shaped secondary battery including a micro-perforated electrode lead having adhesive properties that is capable of enabling a short circuit to occur in the pouch-shaped secondary battery using the adhesive properties of the micro-perforated electrode lead with respect to a pouch-shaped battery case in order to secure the safety of the pouch-shaped secondary battery when the pouch-shaped secondary battery swells due to gas generated in the pouch-shaped secondary battery while the pouch-shaped secondary battery is in an abnormal state or when the pouch-shaped secondary battery is overcharged. Current is prevented from flowing in the pouch-shaped secondary battery when the pouch-shaped secondary battery is overcharged or when the pouch-shaped secondary battery is in an abnormal state.

  • Publication number: 20190386270
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cylindrical battery using an anti-corrosive gasket including a volatile corrosion inhibitor and a base resin. Consequently, the cylindrical battery achieves remarkable anti-corrosion effects under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. This effect cannot be achieved by various conventional anti-corrosion technologies, such as those of a conventional anti-corrosive washer and a conventional anti-corrosive tube, in the field of cylindrical batteries.

  • Patent number: 10497992
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a case for a secondary battery and a secondary battery having the same. More specifically, it relates to a case for a secondary battery having a washer for detecting leakage with a structure improved so as to check leakage of an electrolyte and a secondary battery having the same. A lithium ion secondary battery according to the present disclosure provides an effect of easily checking the leakage of an electrolyte with naked eyes through the color change of a washer when a trace amount of the electrolyte leaks.
