Abstract: Provided are an insulation patch, a battery cell, a battery, and a device. An electrode assembly is coated with the insulation patch, and a side edge of the insulation patch has a hot-melt region and a non-hot-melt region. The hot-melt region is configured to hot melt with a lower plastic, and the non-hot-melt region is lower than the hot-melt region. After the electrode assembly coated with the insulation patch is mounted to a shell, and the hot-melt region of the insulation patch is hot melted to the lower plastic of a top cover assembly, when a top cover member and the shell are welded together by using a laser, the non-hot-melt region of the insulation patch is lower than the hot-melt region, preventing the non-hot-melt region of the insulation patch from interfering with a welding position between the top cover member and the shell.

Abstract: A battery cell includes a first surface, a second surface, and a first electrode terminal. A first region of an edge of the first surface is recessed to form a first recess. The second surface is configured to arrange the first electrode terminal. The first surface and the second surface are perpendicular to a first direction. The first electrode terminal protrudes from the second surface in the first direction and faces the first recess. In the first direction, a depth of the first recess is greater than a height of the first electrode terminal, and a projection area of the first recess on the first surface is greater than a projection area of the first electrode terminal on the first surface.

Abstract: A battery cell includes a housing having an opening, a cover plate configured to close the opening, and an electrode assembly disposed in the housing and including a main body and a tab extending from an end of the main body along a first direction. The cover plate is located on a side of the main body along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The battery cell further includes a first insulation piece disposed between the electrode assembly and the cover plate to dielectrically insulate the electrode assembly from the cover plate, and a second insulation piece disposed between the main body and an inner surface of the housing to dielectrically insulate the tab from the housing. The second insulation piece and the first insulation piece are discretely disposed and connected to each other.

Abstract: The present application relates to a current collecting member, a battery cell, a battery, and a power consuming device, which belong to the technical field of battery manufacturing. The present application provides a current collecting member for a battery cell. The current collecting member comprises: a terminal connecting portion for connection to an electrode terminal of the battery cell; a tab connecting portion for connection to a tab of the battery cell; and a transitional portion for connecting the terminal connecting portion and the tab connecting portion; wherein the transitional portion has a width greater than that of the tab connecting portion. The present application further provides a battery cell, a battery, and a power consuming device, which comprise the current collecting member. The battery cell, the battery and the power consuming device all have high safety performance and energy density due to the features of the current collecting member.

Abstract: A battery cell may include a housing; an end cap assembly comprising a cover plate and an electrode terminal; an electrode assembly comprising a main body and a tab extending from an end of the main body in a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to a second direction; and a current collecting structure comprising a terminal connecting portion and a tab connecting portion that may be separately provided and connected to each other, and the tab connecting portion being configured such that: the tab connecting portion has a rigidity less than the rigidity of the terminal connecting portion to allow a relative movement between the cover plate and the electrode assembly by means of deformation of the tab connecting portion.
