  • Publication number: 20240039129
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide an electrochemical cell which is as simply constructed as possible and which requires as little production effort as possible. This is achieved by an electrochemical cell, in which a first connection conductor is secured to a cover element in a first connection region by means of a first potting element, said first potting element being surrounded and/or accommodated by a first compensation element of the electrochemical cell in the first connection region, and/or in which a second connection conductor is secured to the cover element in a second connection region by means of a second potting element, said second potting element being surrounded and/or accommodated by a second compensation element of the electrochemical cell in the second connection region.

  • Publication number: 20230006293
    Abstract: In order to create an electrochemical cell, comprising a housing, an electrochemical element arranged in an interior of the housing, and at least one cell terminal that comprises a terminal feed-through, which extends through a through-opening of the housing, which electrochemical cell is of simple construction and requires a low production expenditure but still reliably limits the short circuit current that arises in the case of a non-regular operating state, it is proposed that the electrochemical cell comprises an electrically conductive sealing element, which seals the through-opening of the housing and electrically conductively connects the cell terminal to the housing.
