  • Publication number: 20240274938
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped battery cell including a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) having a circuit layer disposed at one surface or each of opposite surfaces thereof, wherein a plating portion having plating formed thereon is added to the outermost surface of the part of the flexible printed circuit board that abuts a sealed portion at which a pouch-shaped battery case is sealed. It is possible to secure the strength of sealing of the flexible printed circuit board to the sealed portion of the pouch-shaped battery case as the result of formation of the plating portion.
