  • Patent number: 9178194
    Abstract: A battery pack to improve assembling reliability in a battery with a cover frame. The battery pack according to the present invention includes a rechargeable battery having at least one rounded lateral side; a cover frame including a frame surrounding each of lateral sides of the rechargeable battery, wherein more than at least one groove is formed at both ends of the frame covering the rounded lateral side of the rechargeable battery. Therefore, it is possible to couple the cover frame to the rechargeable battery via the groove without deforming the cover frame. Also, the rounded battery and the rounded cover frame closing each other is an effect that assembly error of a battery to cover frame can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8507127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rechargeable battery, particularly a rechargeable battery having a bare cell, a protective circuit board, a lead plate, and a flat plate attached to a cap plate of the bare cell for connecting the lead plate to the cap plate. According to the invention, the lead plate is not directly combined with the cap plate, in which the cap plate is made of material differently from the lead plate, and the lead plate and cap plate are respectively welded to the metal layer made of the same material by means of the flat plate formed of metal, thereby allowing them to be easily combined with each other and the adhesive force to be enhanced.
