Abstract: The present invention relates to a bushing forming a terminal for a storage battery, made through an opening connecting to either side of a wall comprising two opposing surfaces, which comprises: two electrically insulating washers, each comprising a bearing portion resting by the surface thereof under pressure against one of the surfaces of the wall and a guiding portion projecting from the bearing portion and resting under pressure against the edge of the opening; two electrically conductive parts, in which a male part is adjusted clamped inside the female part, each one of the parts comprising a bearing portion resting by the surface thereof under pressure against a bearing portion of the washers, the female part resting by the surface thereof under pressure against the guiding portions of the washers. The material(s) of the parts is/are fitted, and the section(s) thereof is/are sized so as to enable the flow of an electric current with a value of no less than 100 A.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrochemical storage battery (A) containing lithium, comprising an electrochemical bundle (F), two current collectors, one of which is connected to the bundle anode and the other to the bundle cathode, and a housing (6) elongated along a central axis (X) and having a lid (9), a bottom (8) and a side casing (7) joined to both the bottom and the lid, the housing being designed to receive the bundle in a sealed manner, and some of the current collectors forming the poles (40, 50) extending through the housing. According to the invention, a circuit-breaker device is provided, which has a housing bottom wall that deforms in the plastic deformation range, as well as a rated breaking line provided around the central portion of the collector, which can tear in order to electrically separate said central portion, connected to the bottom, from the main external surface of the current collector, which is connected to one end of the electrochemical bundle.

Abstract: A sealed accumulator (1) having an electrochemical bundle (9) including at least one positive electrode and one negative electrode arranged in a container (2); positive (6) and negative (7) current output terminals arranged on a cover (5) of the container and respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes; a circuit-breaker including a connecting piece (10) and a membrane (20), electrically insulated from the connecting piece and suitable for deforming under the effect of an overpressure in the container, to break the connecting piece. The connecting piece extends over the top of the cover of the container and conducts an electric current between an electrode of one polarity and its current output terminal. The connecting piece is dimensioned to allow the passage of a current greater than 50 A.
