  • SAFETY VENT FOR CYLINDRICAL BATTERIES
    Publication number: 20240113380
    Abstract: A safety vent assembly for a cylindrical battery may include a burst disk configured to open and at least partially define a vent in response to a thermal runaway of the battery. The safety vent assembly may further include a current collector and a positive terminal. A turbulence promoter may be defined on the current collector. Gas from inside the battery may pass through the turbulence promoter and the vent formed by the burst disk during thermal runaway.
